Hi Jessica! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Your stay at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort begins tomorrow and I know you must be thrilled! I adore this Disney Resort hotel's theme, especially how the story of animation begins as soon as you walk into the lobby. Make sure you save some time for exploring all the different areas of the resort ... there are some really great photo opportunities!
Most likely, the
Memory Maker emails are just a little off on their timeline. Your advance purchase of Memory Maker shouldn't start until you activate it once your first PhotoPass photos are taken. In my experience, I have opened the
My Disney Experience mobile app on my phone to see our pictures and the
Disney PhotoPass watermark was still there until I clicked on the picture and chose to activate Memory Maker. That's when the watermark disappeared and Memory Maker began.
For peace of mind, you can visit the
Front Desk at your
Disney Resort hotel or any of the
Disney PhotoPass Centers in the theme parks and ask about the emails. Then a Cast Member can check and make sure everything is still good-to-go!
Enjoy every second of your vacation, Jessica! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
