  • Between the figurative army of Photopass photographs across their four theme parks, and the 13 rides that take ride photos, I wanted to try and find out how many photos Disney takes at Walt Disney World every single day.

      bumpyJake The last time I rode Spaceship Earth, they had a photo taken that was available for purchase. RobPlays missed that one so maybe there are many more.

    I love your nerdy theme park math videos. They really help me see the parks in a different and fun light. If you're looking for ideas - I've often wondered how far into space all the rides on space mountain since opening would add up to. Would we have reached the sun, Saturn, Pluto, or beyond?

    Going to make a couple estimations of my own.
    Assuming Disney is operating their storage using Microsoft Azure (Disney+ uses it, and they signed a 5-year agreement with Microsoft for other innovations, so I'm using their calculator)
    Note that all of this is monthly
    Standard Performance Tier
    GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage, 3 copies in different drives in one data center and one copy in another data center in another region, meaning, 4 total copies across 2 physical locations)
    100 TB of storage (probably a bit more than absolutely needed, but buffer is good)
    Put (file create) operations: 800 (x10k) (your estimates put 7.5 million photos a month, I'll over estimate a tad)
    List: 400 (x10k) (I just wildly guess half the photos will be pulled up)
    All Other: 400 (x10k) (I don't know what this necessarily covers, but operations are cheap 10,000 ops is literally 1.5 cents)
    Delete is free
    GRS Data Transfer 100 TB (full backup)
    Professional Direct support $1,000/month
    Monthly Cost: $13,318.60 (10k of that comes from the initial 100TB I put on there, )
    ~$415/day

    To expand on the video, here's the full list of my 13 ride photo estimations of how many photos are taken per day! Again, please take these with a grain a salt. It's based on a 12-hour operational day, assumes the rides never breaks down, and uses capacities that are estimated.
    Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin - 9,000
    Space Mountain - 7,992
    Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - 9,600
    Haunted Mansion - 14,400
    Splash Mountain - 1,800
    Pirates of the Caribbean - 1,728
    Test Track - 2,400
    Frozen Ever After - 996
    Rock n Roller Coaster - 5,400
    Tower of Terror - 1,140
    Slinky Dog Dash - 4,620
    Dinosaur - 2,400
    Expedition Everest - 5,400

    If you think that’s a lot, consider the number of security cameras Disney has on their property and how they’re likely storing the data from those for _at least_ a few days. Disney likely has a PB or so of storage on-property to deal with all this stuff.

    Not even a petabyte? A hobbyist can store that amount. If they had to continuously store photos forever, maybe then it would be more titanic. Though it's Disney, they can easily take care of that need even if that was the case.
    Also, they may/could even loselessly compress the images in storage.

    Does Disney turn off the on-ride photos for some rides during peak times? I was at the parks around Christmas/New Years last year and they didn’t have an option to add photos from Pirates, Slinky Dog Dash or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train to photopass. Like there was nowhere to view the on ride photos or scan your bands.

  • @joshuacooper7629

    • @stewarthall2981

      I've often wondered the same. With so many people using their phones to snap a pic of the display screens at the end of the rides, or taking a screenshot of photos on the photopass website, why does anyone buy them? Then again, I get photopass free with my gold annual pass, and the quality is better than a screenshot.

    • @dogman15
      @dogman15 4 года назад

      @@stewarthall2981 I'm sure the preview on the website is low-resolution, and likely also has a watermark. To get full resolution and no watermark, you have to purchase the photo. Plus, taking a picture of the display screen at the end of the ride is always inferior.

    The ride photos do not target individuals but ride vehicles. The same photo for a Test Trak vehicle would not yield 6 photos but 1 (purchasable by all six riders but still just one photo).

    • @MidwaytoMainStreet
      @MidwaytoMainStreet  4 года назад

      Correct. That's why the math accounted for ride vehicles instead of riders. Using the ride vehicle capacity allowed for converting riders per hour into ride vehicles per hour which, itself, is ride photos per hour.

  • @soflokicks
    @soflokicks 4 года назад

    I’m willing to bet that the cost of their data storage for all aspects of the Disney company is much cheaper than it was a few years ago. Thanks to the competitive nature of the cloud storage market and the quickly advancing cloud computing industry, Disney is probably paying pennies on the dollar for their storage vs 5-10 years ago. All the money they make off selling photos is pure profit. The cost of holding users photos for 45 or 365 days is peanuts. Photos are a massive money maker for them, the more photos they take, the higher the chance someone will purchase them.

      @RichardLaughlin 4 года назад +1

      Sam Cody Its definitely a huge amount for most consumers and even most businesses.
      I’ve worked with amounts of data which are bigger before, so here is what I’m guessing they do: Due to the size I’m certain they have at least some storage on-site somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a few PB of storage for various purposes, and this would be included in that. That storage is likely replicated at least once to another data center for disaster recovery purposes and redundancy. Within each DC that data will be stored on disks in a RAID array, which will increase the storage requirements again for redundancy and speed of access.

      You can use your own camera. What'll happen is that the photopass photographer will take a few photos with their own camera first, but they'll also be happy to take photos with your phone or camera. That way you'll have the option to buy from Disney if you choose, but ultimately you don't have to. The same applies with any photopass photographers in the park, not just character meets.
