    If I purchase Mem Magic Beyond and take a trip in early August, how can I avoid the photo benefit starting on that trip? I have another trip in late September for which I prefer to use the photo benefit. I am concerned that it will activate on the Aug trip

    Welcome Home, D Micah!

    Thank you for visiting planDisney, and thank you for stopping by with your question. As a Disney Vacation Club Member for the last 22 years, I love helping fellow neighbors plan for their upcoming vacations. And, it looks like yours is just around the riverbend! 

    How wonderful that you have added Member Magic Beyond to your Membership. This relatively new program sure helps maximize the magic of Membership with so many additional perks and benefits. One of them is, of course, the 30-Day Memory Maker benefit! 

    D Micah, the Memory Maker activation begins when the Member downloads the first photo on Disney PhotoPass or the My Disney Experience Mobile app - or otherwise redeems the Memory Maker. So, if you take photos during your August trip, the Memory Maker will be activated. If you would like to save it for the September trip, you would want to avoid downloading photos from the August trip until after the September trip.  The August trip photos will stay in your account for 45 days from the date the photo was taken, so you could wait to download those images until after your September trip.  You will also get an email warning when the photos are getting ready to expire.

    I hope this helps you! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.

    See ya real soon!
