    I have a Disney trip on Friday, just one day at Magic Kingdom. Today is Sunday, when should I purchase memory maker one day?

    Hi, Zavrashtra! Welcome to planDisney.

    Your Magic Kingdom Park day is almost here! Get ready for the BEST. DAY. EVER. It's extra special knowing you've got a single, joy-packed Disney day coming up. I bet you can picture it now: Cinderella Castle views, Mickey-shaped pretzels, fireworks painting the sky, and classic ride after classic ride. You're smart to plan ahead for photos, because those little moments truly become the best souvenirs.

    For Memory Maker One Day, you don't need to buy it in advance. You can actually purchase it on the day you plan to use it. You can do so on the My Disney Experience app once you start collecting photos. That way, you're only activating it when you know you're ready. The advantage of booking early only really applies when you're purchasing multiple days, because then you can get a discount. However, if you want to purchase it now, you can tick it off your to-do list and focus on other things, like making Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections.

    Here's a quick tip: grab a few Magic Shots early in the morning (like in front of Cinderella Castle or by the Christmas Tree on Main Street, U.S.A.). This is a fun way to kick off the day, and it practically guarantees you'll get your money's worth once you activate Memory Maker!

    I hope that's helpful, Zavrashtra. TTFN, ta-ta for now.
