Hi Matthew,
If you are on the fence about
Memory Maker, let me do my best to give you more information along with my own personal experience so that you can make the best decision for your family.
At the outset, I have to disclose some personal bias: I love this product! With Disney's Memory Maker, throughout your trip all of your
Disney PhotoPass photos and attraction videos will be uploaded to your
My Disney Experience account. You will then be able to download the photos and videos for your personal use and sharing with others in your travel party. It's the best way to ensure everyone in the family gets in the picture, and it's a wonderful way to relive your vacation!
Throughout your trip, you will receive periodic notifications from the
My Disney Experience mobile app on your cellular phone advising that new PhotoPass photos or videos have been uploaded to your account. Typically most media will appear within an hour or so. During our last few trips, we have been greatly impressed by the quality of the photos and attraction videos appearing in our Memory Maker account. In fact, the quality is so good that I have stopped lugging my heavy DSLR camera with me, relying instead simply upon the Disney PhotoPass photographers to do their magic so that I can step away from behind the lens and get into our family photos.
Should you decide to purchase Memory Maker, please ensure that you do so at least 3 days before your vacation starts in order to ensure that all PhotoPass photos and video are uploaded to your account at the special advanced purchase rate.
Magically Yours,
Trish
