Hi Angela! Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Even if you do not purchase
Memory Maker, you can still have your photos associated to your
MagicBand and you can view them in your
My Disney Experience. Click Disney PhotoPass and you can select which photos you want to download. The cost for each individual digital photo (high resolution JPEG file) is $14.95.
We did a quick day trip to Disney's Hollywood Studios recently and this is exactly what I did because I only wanted 1 complete family picture to capture and record our visit. You won't need the PhotoPass cards as long as you make sure to tap your MagicBands after each photo is taken by a Disney PhotoPass Photographer.
Like Memory Maker digital photos, anything you associate to your MagicBand will expire 45 days from the day it was taken.
I hope your vacation is magical and memorable!
~Juliette
