During last week and today I blogged about how iCloud Photos just seemingly has deleted all images from our Disneyland trip in 2019.

That caused me to migrate all photos to Google Photos as a backup. This worked well.

I also found an external drive I could use to download my full iCloud Photos on my Mac. Happy I found it! That also enables me to back it up off-site — so double happy to have a third copy just in case (for all images and videos).

And lo and behold, after a few days, iCloud downloaded all photos from the Disneyland trip — in fact, it download all 1,700 photos from our trip in 2019, which seemingly is way more than what was available on my iOS device (it was a mere handful of around 20 or so).

I am happy that the images are back and are doing a full off-site backup at the moment.

Unsure why iOS is showing a different set of pictures. It just makes me sad that it’s 2025 and Apple has slid off so far in terms of quality.

Anyway, an image for you all (mainly for me though) of two of my favourite things in this world — my wife and well... the castle of course.

Oh and why not... a few more.
