Hiya, Kristen! Welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by with your questions, Kristen. I’ll be happy to help answer your questions regarding Memory Maker. You’re doing the right thing by ironing out these details now, so that when you’re on your vacation, you can totally immerse yourself in the magic!
Purchasing Memory Maker on the
Walt Disney World Resort website is very straightforward and can be done in just a few easy steps. I strongly suggest logging into your MyDisney account first. If you’re not already signed in, you can do so by selecting the “Sign In or Create Account” link at the very top of the welcome page. Signing in before making your purchase should automatically link your purchase to your account. If not, hakuna matata! It can be done manually afterwards.
From here, simply navigate to the
Memory Maker page. As of this writing, when you make your purchase, you’ll have three options for Memory Maker. If you purchase it at least 3 days in advance of your trip, the cost is $185.00. If you purchase it during or immediately after your vacation, the cost is $210.00. And the cost for Memory Maker for a single day is $85.00. Please note that prices are subject to change at any time.
From here, you’ll be prompted to select the box that applies to you. In this case, based on what you’ve told me, this should be the Memory Maker advance purchase box. Follow the steps to complete your purchase, and voilà! It’s that easy! To activate Memory Maker, simply download a photo from the
My Disney Experience app on the first day of your trip, once photos start to populate. When you do that, you’ll be prompted to activate the service. From that point forward, all of your photos and videos within 30 days of activation will be available for you to download!
In my opinion, Memory Maker is a great investment for your vacation, Kristen. The Disney PhotoPass Cast Members do such a great job capturing truly magical shots. Some of my favorite family photos were taken during our vacations, and we have several framed attraction photos in our home as well! They make such great keepsakes.
You happen to be visiting during one of my absolute favorite times of year at Walt Disney World, Kristen. The parks, especially Magic Kingdom Park, all have lovely fall and Halloween decorations. Magic Kingdom also hosts
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on select nights, which is a frightfully fun time that I highly recommend. EPCOT hosts the
International Food & Wine Festival, which features plenty of delectable food, drinks, and entertainment.
Disney Parks Blog also released their
Foodie Guide earlier this week highlighting all of the delicious eats and sips that will be on offer at the Global Marketplaces throughout the park!
I hope this points you in the right direction, Kristen! If any other questions pop up as you continue to plan, please don’t hesitate to come back and see my friends and me here at
planDisney. We’re always ready to help!
Say cheese!
