Hello Jennifer! Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary! How wonderful to be spending it at "the most magical place on earth!" You will have a great time creating memories.
I love using Disney's PhotoPass Service. Otherwise, I find myself always behind the camera and not in any of the pictures. There are a few different ways to use the service for your upcoming trip. You can just go to the park and receive a Photopass card from the first photographer you use and continue to add pictures to it for the remainder of your trip. With this method, you are able to view and purchase photos at the park you are visiting or online. (Ride photos are not included in this method and would need to be purchased separately.) Also, with this PhotoPass service, you are able to purchase the photos individually or purchase what is now called the Disney PhotoPass Archive Disc or Download to include them all. The other option, like you mentioned, is the new Memory Maker Service. This service allows you to include
all photos taken at Walt Disney World. You are still able to view them in the parks, but this product also already includes the ability to download them to your computer.
We usually purchase most of the pictures taken on our vacations (and it is usually quite a few), so on my last trip, I really found the Memory Maker product to be the best value. If you don't plan on taking or purchasing many PhotoPass photos on your trip, it may make more sense for you to just purchase them individually.
For some helpful information about both services you can check out the
Frequently Asked Questions page on the Walt Disney World website.
I hope this helped with any questions you may have had. Have a wonderful anniversary and enjoy your trip!
