    Hello! I just purchased my Disney PhotoPass for our trip in one month (end of February). How will I activate this on the day we go to Magic Kingdom? (Feb 25th). Just trying to be organized :) Thank you!

    Welcome to planDisney, Jessica! Where you will fit in and feel right at home with organizers and planners from every walk of life. You also have me who loves to take every picture imaginable so let's get you ready to make these magical memories!

    Your visit is right around the corner and there is so much you need to know about Memory Maker. Disney PhotoPass is such a helpful tool for you vacation to Walt Disney World. Memory Maker will activate with your tickets and will start to record your photos the moment you take a picture with a Cast Member. It helps capture those moments so that there isn't always one person missing from your pictures, or a million selfies not truly capturing the background. Whenever you see a PhotoPass Cast Member you can ask for a couple of photos and scan your phone, DisneyBand (also known as MagicBand), and physical PhotoPass cards. Once you do that they will show up in your photos inside the My Disney Experience App. You can also access them from the My Disney Experience website. If you are wearing your DisneyBand on certain attractions you will find the pictures magically work their  way into your photos as well.

    Another great way to use this is scheduling a Capture Your Moment Photo Session. This gives you a personal session for 20 minutes with a seasoned professional at one of the parks of your choosing. You will need to pay for the session but the pictures will be all included with your Memory Maker that you purchased. Sessions can be booked back to back if you want to have two different locations for your backgrounds. All the parks including Magic Kingdom Park have locations but they are specific to the park. Bring some nice clothes with you and you could have a photo shoot that you can treasure for years to come. 

    I hope you are ready for this visit, I would already be packing as I am sure you have at least thought about it. One item that I am always impressed with the many uses and its versatility is the resealable plastic bags. Pack them, I promise they will come in handy at some point. If you have any other organizational questions or planning so that your trip is easy peasy, come back anytime to planDisney.com.

    Have a magical stay,
