Hello James, and Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Disney PhotoPass Service allows guests to capture wonderful Walt Disney World vacation memories. Ride and attraction photos and videos will automatically link to your Disney account when wearing your
MagicBand. If you will not be using a MagicBand, you can link your photos by touching your park admission card or Memory Maker card at the touch points in the photo preview area. (Please note, some attractions do not have a preview area and MagicBands are required to link those photos and videos.) When capturing photos with a Disney PhotoPass photographer, the photographer will scan your MagicBand or admission card to link your photos to your account.
It is not necessary for you to be in the photo with your grandchildren. As long as they are connected to your Family & Friends list in
My Disney Experience, you will able to view their photos, even if you were not with them at the time the photo was captured. If they are not in your Family & Friends list, you could link their photos to your account by scanning your MagicBand, admission card, or Memory Maker card with the photographer or at the photo display touch points.
Photos may be purchased and downloaded individually, or the
purchase of Memory Maker allows you to download ALL your Disney PhotoPass photos,
including those of up to 25 people in your Family & Friends list. So in short, Memory Maker will allow you to download photos of your grandkids.
I hope I have addressed your questions. Please feel free to write us back if you have additional questions about Memory Maker, or if we can assist you with anything else as you
plan your vacation.
Have fun capturing your magical memories!
Anne Marie
