Hi JaneAnn, welcome to planDisney!
My Disney scrapbook is full of cherished images of my family enjoying Disney magic together. We're all part of the Mickey Mouse group hug at
Town Square Theater. We're all smiling in front of Cinderella Castle. We're all getting our thrill on at
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Memories are the best souvenirs and we have Disney PhotoPass photographers and Memory Maker to thank for these magical moments.
One Memory Maker purchase includes unlimited downloads of all images captured on select attractions and by Disney PhotoPass photographers, including Magic Shots. The cost of Memory Maker as an add-on when booking a Walt Disney World Resort vacation package or as a separate purchase at least three days before arrival is exactly the same. The current price of Memory Maker (Advance Purchase), subject to change at any time, is $185.
If you decide to wait to purchase Memory Maker, the Advance Purchase option is available
online, not in the
My Disney Experience mobile app. The cost of Memory Maker goes up if you purchase less than three days before arrival or after your vacation. There is also a Memory Maker One Day Option, should you wish to prioritize capturing certain memories.
I think it would be helpful to share a little bit more about how Memory Maker works, JaneAnn. A Memory Maker entitlement is linked to one person in
My Disney Experience and sits in your account until activated. During your vacation, you can activate the entitlement by selecting any watermarked image in your My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the app's homepage > Photos) and following the prompts to activate. Once activated, Memory Maker includes all images captured within 30 days of activation. Memory Maker lets you view and download Disney PhotoPass images of anyone with whom you're connected as
Family & Friends, as long as they have allowed photo sharing permissions with you. Disney PhotoPass images expire 45 days after they are taken. My preference is to download select photos to my phone during our vacation and all photos to my laptop once I've returned home.
I hope this information captures the Memory Maker magic. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me
directly with any other trip-planning questions. I'd love to help make your vacation as memorable as possible!
Choose magic,
Jennifer
