Welcome back, Cynthia!
I am a huge fan of
Memory Maker, and it is a "must-do" purchase for each of our Walt Disney World Resort vacations. One of the benefits of Memory Maker is that you have instant access to your photos, and you can share the photos with those linked in your My Disney Experience Friends and Family list. The Memory Maker entitlement holder is able to download the photos and videos instantly to their account without having to wait for a DVD to arrive in the mail. However, for an additional cost, you can purchase the
Memory Maker Archival Disc that will include all photos (PhotoPass, Attraction, Dining) and videos that are in your account. The important thing to remember is that the DVD disc will only contain the media that is
currently in your account. So you will need to order after you have finished collecting and editing your photos, but before the 45-day expiration window.
I hope this answers your question, and you have a magical time creating memories with your family! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance!
