    the photo pass option add on for AP. I am confused about photo pass vs memory maker. to download the photos from photo pass, do you also have to purchase memory maker? If you don’t purchase memory maker every 30 days, do you also have to buy the photos?

    Welcome to planDisney, Jace! It sounds like you're thinking of joining the Walt Disney World Annual Passholder family, and as a Passholder myself, I'm excited to chat with you today about the add-on PhotoPass option!

    Jace, when you purchase your Annual Pass, if you opt to add the Disney PhotoPass Downloads, you'll be able to download all of your media captured with Disney PhotoPass for the entire length your pass is valid for; this means you'll have access to all of your photo and video memories for the whole year! When you add this option, you do not need to worry about purchasing Memory Maker or doing anything else; your photos will appear in your Photo Gallery of your My Disney Experience mobile app, ready to download, save, and share! The downloads will start on the first day your pass is activated and expire on the same day your pass expires, so even if you purchase the add-on later, your photos captured during the valid dates of your annual pass will be available to download after purchase.

    One of the things I love most about Disney PhotoPass is the Magic Shots offered by the photographers! Be sure to ask them if they're able to do any of these fun little extras when you stop to have your picture taken! Another great perk of this add-on is having access to download all of your attraction reaction photos and videos! These always bring a smile to my face after a fun attraction!

    Jace, I hope this helps, and I hope you enjoy all the magic of being a Passholder! Be sure to take advantage of the great passholder perks, benefits, discounts, and special offers! There are so many ways to make even more magic as a passholder! If you have any other questions, come see us again here at planDisney!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
