Heigh-Ho Mary!
You can absolutely purchase Memory Maker if you do not stay at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. You will need a
My Disney Experience account. One of the great things about Memory Maker is that all your pictures will be available by digital download, so you don't have to pay per photo, all of them are yours! Yes, ALL of them! Many attraction photos such as Splash Mountain and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin are included in Memory Maker as well as some Character Dining locations. So unlike PhotoPass, you had to order photos on the website. Now you download all your photos and can print them off wherever you'd like. You can save $50 by
pre-ordering Memory Maker online at least 3 days before the first photo is taken. The photos are conveniently connected to your online Disney account with a touch of your MagicBand, Memory Maker card, or PhotoPass card.
I just returned from a Walt Disney World vacation, and my family and I have loved looking at all our photos and adding borders and stickers to them. It's so fun to relive the memories!
If you have any other questions, please come back and visit us again at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We hope to see you real soon.
