Hi Jennifer, and welcome to planDisney!
Yes! This is actually one of my favorite things about Memory Maker. Your family does not have to be together when every photo is taken for you to collect all those vacation memories in one place. It's
PhotoPass magic!
Once
Memory Maker is linked to your
My Disney Experience account, you can
download Disney PhotoPass photos from up to 25 people on your
Family & Friends list who are sharing photos with you. So if part of the family is conquering Space Mountain while someone else is meeting Mickey Mouse across the park, those photos can still make their way into your collection! Just keep in mind that the Guest who purchased and has Memory Maker linked to their account is the one who will be able to download everyone’s photos without a watermark, so you may want to designate that person as your family’s official photo collector.
And Jennifer, I am a HUGE fan of Disney PhotoPass and Memory Maker. There is something so wonderful about actually being IN the vacation photos instead of always having one family member missing because they were behind the camera. PhotoPass photographers can be found at so many iconic locations throughout the theme parks, plus select Character experiences and attractions. Oh, and be sure to ask about Magic Shots, too! You never know what little bit of extra Disney magic might appear in your photo.
One quick tip: make sure everyone is connected through your Family & Friends list in My Disney Experience and has photo sharing enabled before your trip. I like getting all of that sorted out ahead of time so once vacation begins, the only job left is to smile!
I hope you come home with a camera roll absolutely overflowing with magical memories!
See ya real soon,
Emille
