Hi Nicky,
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I was able to try out
Memory Maker last month and I loved it so much I've already purchased it for my family's next Walt Disney World vacation. With Memory Maker, you get instant access to pictures taken of everyone in your travel party by Disney PhotoPass photographers at hundreds of locations throughout Walt Disney World, including some attractions and dining spots. There's no limit to the number of photos or the number of times you can download them, so when I got home I downloaded my pictures right to my computer and then had them printed for my photo albums.
If you plan to purchase Memory Maker, I'd recommend doing that at least three days in advance, which will save you a bit off the purchase price and ensure you don't miss a single vacation photo during your trip. Also, you'll want to be sure everyone in your travel group is linked to your Family & Friends list in your My Disney Experience account and that you're all giving each other permission to view and purchase your PhotoPass photos (you can change this using the "Edit" button next to the person's name under your Family & Friends list). Even if you're not together when the photos are taken, you should still see them all when you log in.
The purchase price for Memory Maker does not include the Memory Maker Archive Disc, but if you've purchased Memory Maker, you can get a disc after your vacation for about $30 through the
Disney PhotoPass site. For both the downloaded photos and those on the Archive Disc, a Limited License Agreement is included that allows you to make prints of your digital photos for personal use.
I hope that helps answer your question, but please let us know if we can help with anything else.
Beth
