Welcome to planDisney, Katherine! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today. I love getting
Memory Maker on a special trip to Walt Disney World Resort since the photos I take on vacation are always my favorite souvenirs. I'm happy to let you know exactly how it works so you can activate it on the right day!
Katherine, Memory Maker won't be activated until you choose to do it manually. On the day you want to use your Memory Maker, log into the
My Disney Experience app after you take your first Disney PhotoPass photo. Tap the main menu in the bottom right corner of the app and then select the "Photos" tile. Tap your photo, and you will be presented with the option to activate your Memory Maker! It's as easy as that.
Here's a tip for making the most out of Memory Maker on your trip this weekend: make sure to ask the PhotoPass Cast Members if they have any Magic Shots, which are special photos with a bit of extra pixie dust. They might make you do some silly poses or ask you to do some fun facial expressions, but I promise the end result is always worth it!
I hope this answers your question, Katherine, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
