Hello, Kristen!
Thanks so much for sending your question to us at Disney Parks Moms Panel. It's a great one!
When Guests visit
Walt Disney World, it is so easy to digitally connect with all of their family and friends in their traveling party via
My Disney Experience. Being able to keep track of each others'
FastPass+ plans,
dining reservations, and even fabulously fun pics from
Disney PhotoPass Service makes touring with a large group hassle-free.
MemoryMaker, a Disney PhotoPass Product is one of my very favorite ways of making sure that we capture as many of those once-in-a-lifetime moments as we can, especially when visiting with extended family and friends. What's great about this option is that you'll get to see and download
all PhotoPass photos taken of everyone on your
My Disney Experience Family & Friends List via your
My Disney Experience mobile app. No need to be together at the time; as long as someone uses their MagicBand or PhotoPass card (available from any PhotoPass photographer) to tap that photo and link it to your My Disney Experience account.
This means that not only can
all of you get into those fantastic group photos, but you'll get to download smaller group experiences as well, should you split into smaller parties from time to time. Little ones going to meet a Princess at a
Character Experience? You'll get the shot that captures the magic. Big kids tackling
Splash Mountain? That hilarious photo just prior to the big drop is yours.
Be sure to take advantage of the Advance Purchase discount for
MemoryMaker, too. Not only will you save money, but you'll also have time to ensure that your Family & Friend List is set up with everyone in your group linked to your account.
Happy planning your extended family's visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Kristen! Be sure to send us more questions as you think of them, too. We love to help!
