My would love to have all of the photos she took with the Disney characters. Thank you!

    When I was there in the late 80s, it was amazing the things that would be turned in, and would eventually be returned to their owners.

    Be sure to check with the property and see if they can assist you.

That CM called load and some CM who checked it out on the other end could visibly see it, but did not want to disrupt the show by retrieving it. I couldn't agree more with the decision, no reason to disrupt other's enjoyment over our mistake. It's what I pretty much expected the minute the camera fell out of the child's hands.

    This was 10+ years ago.

    I immediately notified Lost & Found that day. I told them that the CMs verified that it was on the floor, in-sight, and that they would be turning it over as soon as they could to L&F.

    For the next 60 days, no trace of it upon every inquiry to them. Again, my fault, but certainly not something I would rate as good for a Lost & Found operation.

    ChiMike, I was just told a similar story just today. This one included a pair of prescription glasses. A manager at the attraction was brought in, and promised that the glasses would be available at L&F the next morning. Of course, the next morning, there were no glasses and everyone at the attraction claimed ignorance about anything.

    hopemax, are you suggesting that Disney encourages Cast Members to NOT re-unite guests with their lost items?

    I will give you an example. If you call and ask if they have such and such an item. You will be put on hold while they check. The person on the phone may or may not actually check.
