Hey Everyone!!! Does anyone know how the lost and found works at DL? My daughter lost her jacket somewhere in the park on Monday and we won't be back there until July.

Does anyone know where I can fix an Izzy cotume for my daughter. She is 5 years old and I found one online but the biggest size is 4-6 and I think it will be too small. Not sure if they carry it in the parks. Thanks :)

I just got a canon, t3i, still trying to figure it out, and haven't posted from it yet as I keep forgetting my eye fi card. If you want to download photos from your camera to mw or social sites while in the parks, without a laptop or tablet, you will need the eye fi card, it is a memory card in your phone that automatically sends the photos to your phone so you can download then. some of the newest cameras not have that built in but the t3i does not. some of the better photographers on here will give you tips or look it up under search for an old post. have fun with it!:) - secretagentangel661.1 #156 1-13-13 7:22PMLike Reply

Welcome to the MW family! If you haven't already, please read our FAQs. Also try out the search feature and use keywords like "MW 101" or "Carsland". If you have a question, use the search feature...it could of been asked before. As for rank, you get the most by entering accurate wait times and posting LIVE pictures from the park. You can also try the trivia on Facebook. The points unlock backgrounds, music, chatroom and other wonderful things.
