Hey Kevin!
Welcome to planDisney! I love using
Memory Maker and when I became an Annual Passholder I made sure to add it to my pass. These photos become the only way I am always guaranteed to be in the picture with my family and the backdrops are always so magical. But Kevin, you don't always have to be in the picture. I have so many photos of just my children and friends taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers.
You can view and download the pictures from anyone who is on your
Family & Friends List who wishes to share their images with you. In my current
gallery, I can see my friend's recent trip to Walt Disney World Resort and I downloaded the cutest picture of her hugging Dale at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. They can share the images with you by heading to the Family & Friends List and selecting your account and then toggling the button to "Allow Kevin to view your Disney PhotoPass photos."
Make sure to download your pictures promptly after you return from your trip as they remain in your gallery for 45 days from the date they were taken. I love to download high-resolution images to my computer to use for printing and low-resolution to my phone for online social media posting.
I hope this helps and if you have any questions please
let me know!
Happy Planning!
