Hi Kelly! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Purchasing Memory Maker is a great idea for your
upcoming visit! My family first added Memory Maker to our vacation a few years ago and we loved it. We came home with hundreds of
photos that we were
all pictured in and now I can't imagine vacationing without it!
I spoke with a Cast Member about the advance purchase of
Memory Maker. You are correct that it must be purchased at least three days in advance for the discounted price to apply. It was explained to me that if Memory Maker was purchased today (Thursday), it could be used as soon as Monday, not Sunday. That means that the three days do
not include the day of purchase.
Even if you end up having to purchase Memory Maker at full price, I still think it is worth it! You are making memories that will last a life time and having the ability to look back at pictures from this trip is something you will cherish.
I hope you have the BEST vacation, Kelly! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
