Hi Terry, welcome to planDisney!
Walt Disney World Resort vacations are full of picture-perfect moments.
Memory Maker is my favorite souvenir because it gives me unlimited downloads of every magical memory captured by
Disney PhotoPass photographers. It even lets me view and download attraction photos, which illustrate
how much my husband loves TRON Lightcycle / Run.
When you purchase Memory Maker online, an entitlement links to your My Disney Experience account. Once you activate the entitlement, you can view and download Disney PhotoPass images captured by you and up to 25 members of your
Family & Friends List who share media with you. I understand you have some friends and family who are arriving at the parks before you, Terry. As long as they appear on your Family & Friends List and the "My Disney PhotoPass Photos" box is checked when they click "Update" next to your name on their Family & Friends List, you will be able to see their Disney PhotoPass images online or in your
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the home page --> Photos).
To activate a Memory Maker entitlement, click on any watermarked image in your My Disney Experience mobile app, followed by the "Activate My Photos" button. You can start downloading unwatermarked photos immediately. One Memory Maker entitlement includes all vacation media captured within 30 days of activation. You are welcome to activate your Memory Maker purchase the day your family and friends arrive, Terry, just keep in mind you are the only person who will be able to view and download unwatermarked images because Memory Maker is linked to your account. When traveling with extended friends and family, I download everyone's Disney PhotoPass images and upload them to a shared folder once or twice a day.
I hope this snapshot of information helps you maximize the magic of your Memory Maker purchase, Terry. Let planDisney know if we can help you zoom in on any other aspects of your trip.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
