Hi, Linda!
Thank you for continuing to drop by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with another great vacation planning question! In just a few days you'll be in the midst of the magic when you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort for your Disney vacation!
When my crew vacations with our favorite Mouse, we love to take advantage of the PhotoPass photographers and Memory Maker! I'm typically the one behind the camera so it's wonderful to be included in all our Disney vacation photos! Each time I visit the Walt Disney World Resort I'm amazed at how many PhotoPass spots are available around the parks and resorts and that doesn't include all the attraction photo opportunities. These are always some of my favorites since you never know what you're going to get!
Disney understands that families and groups traveling together don't also have the same plans for the parks, so there is a way to share your Memory Maker with the rest of your party. First, you'll want to visit My Disney Experience to make sure you are listed on the same account as everyone traveling with you next week or that you are all connected as friends. You'll want to check for this under "My Account" and then "My Friends and Family List." Then head to "My Photos" under "Photography" and check the box under "Want to share photos with others." Everyone's photos should all end up on your account so you can download them to share! Remind your group to tap their MagicBands under the photo screen when they exit attractions with photos to make sure they show up on your account.
Linda, since your trip is so close, you want to go ahead and purchase your
Memory Maker ASAP! If you buy it at least three days prior to your vacation, you will save $20.00! That's almost enough for five Mickey Ice Cream bars!
Safe travels and enjoy!
Nancy
