On the subject of sweeping, Balloon Ladies, etc., here's a little something I learned from the Princess 10K last month:
Once the Balloon Ladies pass, the PhotoPass people pack up and leave. I started in A and took my sweet time - I was in line for Pluto at the turn around in EP and saw the Balloon Ladies pass. They yelled out something about "if you want your Spaceship Earth photos..." but I didn't catch all of it and didn't think twice. Until I got up to the customary Big Ball photo spot and saw the PhotoPass people packing up their things. I asked if I could get a picture and they said, "no"; they "were told not to take any more photos once the sweepers passed." So yeah - even after the point at which one isn't really in danger of being swept, there are some good reasons to stay ahead of the sweep! (I still got my Big Ball pic - it just wasn't taken by PhotoPass.)
