Media & Copyright Compliance Policy

Disney-approved media assets

Rope Drop Dad administrators may upload official Disney marketing assets obtained through an authorized Disney travel-advisor portal or the DisneyCopyright resource, but only when the administrator has confirmed the asset is licensed for the intended website or digital-marketing use. The internal media registry supports the following records for uploaded assets:

• File name
• Source portal
• Asset or approval reference
• Permitted usage channels
• Required copyright notice
• Date downloaded
• Expiration date, if applicable
• Geographic restrictions
• Modification restrictions
• Approval status
• The pages on which the asset is used

Licensed editorial photographs

Resort and destination photographs from Wikimedia Commons are used under the license stated on each source file. Their captions link to the photographer, source and license where available, and identify older photographs. Historical photos do not confirm a property's current appearance or amenities. Resizing and WebP conversion are noted in the records; photographer watermarks are retained.

Build-managed photographs have source and transformation records in the public resort photo manifest, getaway photo manifest and authorized marketing photo manifest. These records are maintained alongside the website code, separately from uploads in the staff media registry.

No unauthorized modifications

Disney-supplied assets are not automatically cropped, recoloured, stripped of copyright notices, modified, or used to generate derivatives. Any resize, crop, or edit is performed only when the source license explicitly permits it and is recorded in the asset's compliance record.

Checks for publication

Staff should withhold an asset when any of the following applies:

• Usage permission is unknown or unverified
• The required approval reference is missing
• The license has expired
• The intended channel is not on the permitted-channels list
• Required copyright wording is missing

What we do allow

• Original travel photography owned by our team or contributors
• Properly licensed stock photography with retained license records
• Openly licensed photographs used with the required attribution and license terms
• Original Rope Drop Dad graphics and illustrations

What we never do

We do not import or copy images from Disney public websites, Google Images, social-media accounts, or third-party blogs simply because they are publicly viewable. Public visibility is not a license.

Reporting a concern

If you believe an image on Rope Drop Dad is used without proper licensing, contact usand we will remove or replace it while the record is reviewed.
