When I bought my Wii which, was Thursday, I was really looking forward to being able to turn my Wii on and off with my Wii controller. I thought that I could (lazily) turn my Wii on without getting out of bed and pick up in my game where I let offthe night before. But when I was reading my instructions, it said too take out my game disk when I was done. :( Bummer. So my question is, canI leave a game disk in my Wii, or will it hurt it? If so, how long can I keep it in my Wii?
Everyone has that in their manuals. It's like in car commercials when they tell you not to actually try to drive underwater or something equally as stupid.

you can leave it in, but if you want it to last FOREVER and never break, it's better if you take the disk out before turning it off.
ok this is a bit random but when i was reading my manual like a week ago there was a picture of the wii message board in it and it had a message from Animal crossing. It doesnt say anything about it but i thought it was interesting.....

Why? It's not like that heat will warp the discs or anything.
yea it does actulay. its ur choice, i care about my games so...
Actually, the disc is probably used to a lot more heat than you realize. Friction causes heat. The heat from WiiConnect isn't going to make that disc any hotter than when its spinning full speed while your playing a game.
i leave my disc in all consoles 24/7 unless i really think i won't play it.. im a collector, and i don't have a single marks or scratches on any of my games.

The manual for the NES says the exact same thing. I've always kept my games in the console over time, and none of my games have ever been damaged by it. In fact, my NES still works, as do all of my original cartridges.
You can keep your games in the console. They will not be harmed by this.
Telling you not to leave a disc in the Wii is just legalese that Nintendo has to feed you so they can avoid class action lawsuits. Here's some other examples:
Caution, contents may be hot - on a coffee cup
Caution, may contain peanuts - on peanut M&Ms
Caution, cape does not allow you to fly - on a toy Superman cape
I only take the disc out when I need to transport my Wii.
