Hi Caetie! Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Based on your question, I'm assuming you must be visiting Walt Disney World Resort very soon!
Sooo exciting! Memory Maker is a great way to purchase all of your
Disney PhotoPass photos, including ride and attraction photos, photos from select dining and character greeting locations, as well as photos taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers throughout the Theme Parks. You can also visit the
Disney PhotoPass Service Studio at Disney Springs to capture even more Disney vacation memories.
You are correct that when purchasing
Memory Maker at the Advance Purchase price, photos taken within 3 days of the purchase are not included. I recommend visiting a
Disney PhotoPass Center to see if it might be possible to convert your Memory Maker to begin immediately. You could also try calling Disney PhotoPass Guest Support at (407) 560-4300. I've had a few tricky problems that were able to be untangled.
I hope that helps! Please let us know if we can answer any additional questions. Enjoy your visit!
Anne Marie
