    Hi, I just paid for memory maker, but I won’t be at the theme park until Sunday. Will it be working on Sunday or did I make a mistake?

    Welcome to planDisney, Lourdes! I know you must be excited as you count down the final days to your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I'm happy to chat with you today about one of my favorite products - the Memory Maker! My family always purchases the Memory Maker to ensure we can capture lots of photos during our visit!

    Lourdes, it sounds like you purchased the Memory Maker ahead of your visit, which is perfect and also a great way to save a little money on this product! Once you arrive at the parks and start to capture your vacation photos, you'll want to go into your My Disney Experience account, click on Photo Gallery, and then click to activate your Memory Maker product. Once activated, you'll have access to download all of the images captured in the next 30 days (and the images will stay available in your Photo Gallery for 45 days from the date of capture). You will also be able to download the photos captured by anyone linked to you on your Family and Friends List, so be sure your entire travel party is connected before your trip, so you don't miss out on any of the fun photos!

    You're welcome to download your photos in real time directly from the app, and you can also download your photos once you've returned home! I usually download some to share with friends and family back home while we are on vacation, and then download our entire trip gallery once we have returned home. 

    Lourdes, did you know you can also add filters, stickers, and borders to your photos in the mobile app? Just click on an image and select Edit to see the options! It's a fun way to add a little flair to your memories! Another one of my favorite ways to maximize the value of Memory Maker is to ask the photographers if they have any special MagicShots they can add to your pictures! You never know what fun surprises you might find!

    Lourdes, I hope this helps, and I hope you capture all the magic of your trip to look back on for years to come! If you have any other questions before your visit, come see us again here at planDisney!

    Taking pictures is making memories,
