Welcome to planDisney, Tom!
What a wonderful visit you have planned! There's nothing quite like a trip to
Walt Disney World with multiple families. You're about to create some magical core memories for sure.
Tom, your idea of capturing that magic through
Memory Maker is an excellent one. With the help of the very talented
Disney PhotoPass photographers, all of those once-in-a-lifetime core memories will be in pics you'll cherish forever. I always take advantage of that great Advance Purchase discount, too, by adding that at least 3 days prior to arrival. That savings can go toward more Dole Whips for all!
Once you've purchased Memory Maker, you'll be able to
download photos and videos from up to 25 members of your Family & Friends list who have allowed photo sharing. In your
My Disney Experience account or app, take a look at that Family & Friends list. Then, each person in your travel party should click that button that allows you all to view each other's Disney PhotoPass photos.
If there are more than 25 in your group, call
Disney PhotoPass Guest Support. You'll find the number and lots more information in that Frequently Asked Question link. When a photo or two were missing from our day of fun, Cast Members there have always been able to locate them and add them for me. They're magical!
From that first fabulous photo, you'll have 30 days to download those you love. Everyone will see pics from the entire group, regardless of which park they are enjoying at that time. The person who purchased MM will see those images without a watermark, so that's the one who will be able to download as soon as images are added. When we're with a large group that may split up, I remind everyone to seek out those iconic images in each park throughout the day. To be sure all images are linked, tap your
MagicBand+,
theme park ticket, or PhotoPass card (available from PhotoPass photographers) after each shot. You'll be so glad that you did!
Tom, as you continue your pixie-dusted planning, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
