This bog is complete BS. If you read my original post from October of last year about a necklace I found, the moderator of this bog edited it. It originally told about how the employees of lost and found take all the good stuff. My friend used to work for them and told me that herself. THAT is why I wouldn’t send the necklace to Disney after they insisted they would only help me find the owner AFTER I sent the necklace to them. They said if no one claimed it, I could put in a claim for it and might get it back. HA!!!! It’s diamond and platinum…I’m sure that be taken IMMEDIATELY!! This blog is probably run by Disney! Their lost and found is a joke unless your stuff is worthless!! I feel bad for the owner of the necklace I found. I am sure they reported it to disney..but still won’t ever get it. I still have it if someone can describe I will send back. I found it Oct 08. Disney is as crooked as any corp. Wonder how long this TRUTHFUL post will stay up before it gets edited. Who ever edited my original post YOUR VIOLATING MY RIGHTS!!!!!

Found a camera at Magic Kingdom on Sept 7, 2009. Viewed pics to try to locate owner, but never found them. My friend works at Disney and said lost and found items are sold to employees. Cheap stuff and items lost at hotels are most likely to be returned. Expensive items are gone quickly. Photos included Baptism Ceremony. If this sounds like yours contact me with camera description.

I can sympathize with the lost cameras. I was fortunate that my camera was not in my lost camera bag and I’m pretty sure if it was I would not have seen it again. I just can’t believe that with the expense people take on to go to Disney that they feel the need to steal camera cards or cameras. I just can’t believe they have no heart. My camera card was removed from the case and as it is now over a month I am resolved that it is definitely gone. The card was full and locked so it was a deliberate action that would have deleted my pictures from 5 days of Disney parks. In the meanwhile the glasses never turned up from the shark tank either. I must say that my experience with lost and found has been good as I was calling once a week to check and after the third week was advised that if the items had not turned by then up they most likely will not. I still have a slight hope for the glasses but know that the card gone.

I had lost my Sony cypershot expensive camera on August 23, 2009 in morracco in Epcot. It was my daughters mommy and me trip. I had put it down to rest for a second and I realized it was missing and went back right away and of course it was gone. I asked employees and people in the area but of course Nothing. I filed a claim at guest releations in Epcot and at Theme park lost and found. I kept calling but they keep telling me “nothing was found”. I am soooo upset I had lost alot of pictures that cannot be replaced. I can’t believe that people now a days don’t have heart. Why steal what do you get out of it. Well I guess in my case expensive camera… WELL so much for a the happiest place on earth!!!!

I lost my Cannon camera on August 24th 2009 in Japan at EPCOT.
It was my daughters 11th birthday. I had put it down on the counter to make a purchase and must have left it there.
I realized within minutes and went back to look. It was not there.
I asked the girl behind the counter, and she said nothing had been turned in.
I called lost and found the next day and it had not been turned it but I filed a claim with them and gave all of my info.
I called again the following day and asked if it had been found?? The man asked me if I had filed a claim. I told him yes but was not able to locate it in the system…..so I did it again.
Bottom line is my camera has yet to show up.
I am so sad. I had so many pictures on that memory card….
I am sure it must have been stolen….I guess it is the happiest place on earth…

Well, here I am again! 7 months later and still waiting for Disney World Lost & Found to return my call as promised – and my sweet little granddaughter still missing her dearly love “bunny”. DOES DISNEY WORLD EVER RECEIVE ANY OF THESE E-MAILS?

There are so many reports of lost cameras, I just don’t know what the solution would be. I wonder if they had some type of tag, like a luggage tag that stated what hotel to return it to if found would help.

My daughter lost her camera after riding the Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road ride at Disney World on. She said the employee she notified didn’t seem to care what she was saying and did not look in the seats while she waited during the next five rides. She reported it lost to the Lost & Found and it was not found. I told the personnel in Lost & Found about the employee not looking and he told me that was what they are supposed to do…not look. He said it was up to a guest to turn it in. OH MY GOD. We will be calling over the next few days and HOPE IT IS FOUND. I am sick to my stomach that we lost a good camera…and more so that someone possibly found it next to their feet and stole it.

Hi, I lost my camera bag (but not the camera) in the Magic Kingdom on the night/morning of August 9/10 in the late night hours. I went to lost and found on the morning of the 11th and the bag and dead batteries were there, however the 4GB card which I filled Sunday night was missing. The lost and found personnel were helpful but the delay is getting the filed cards from the parks to the office. Also, lost a pair of prescription glasses in the shark tank at Typhoon Lagoon on the 9th (not a good day) but they have yet to surface. Was so excited to see the camera bag seemingly intact that it was greater disappointment the SD card was missing. Hoping that someone did not take the card out and delete my pictures to load theirs. Lesson learned is download pictures everyday if you can.

I lost my black Sony Cybershot camera while riding Big Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom yesterday. I had the strap on my wrist (completely my fault, I realize) and it flew off on a sharp turn. I did see it land so I knew it didn’t fall off the edge. I spoke to a woman when I got off the ride and she said she would let them know to look for it and then referred me to city hall to file a claim. The woman helping me was very nice and helped me with the claim. She told me to go to Lost and Found today around noon because all of yesterday’s items would be logged in by then. Upon arriving at Lost and Found, I found out that the camera was not found and that the woman from city hall never even filed the claim. The man there helped me to file a new one and keep checking. I’m keeping my fingers crossed because I flew right to Disney World from a camp I was volunteering at this summer for underprivileged children, so there are over two hundred pictures on there that I’ve yet to upload. I would do anything to have just the memory card back. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions!! Thank you so much.
