Hi Shane! Congratulations on your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort. I'm happy to say NO! With the all-new
Memory Maker you'll be able to view and download photos from the family and friends connections in your
My Disney Experience account so if you haven't already linked all your family members to your account start there.
As long as everyone in your travel party is linked in your My Disney Experience account, everyone will be able to enjoy the exciting benefits of Memory Maker by just using their
MagicBands because it's 100% digital. And you'll have immediate access to everyone's pictures as they are taken because Memory Maker is fully integrated with your My Disney Experience account.
Since everything is connected with the all-new MagicBands, your family members can do their own thing and have fun capturing unlimited picture perfect moments at all Disney PhotoPass locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort and Downtown Disney including character meetings and iconic locations and select ride attractions like Splash Mountain, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and character dining at 1900 Park Fare, Chef Mickey’s and Cinderella’s Royal Table. All they have to do is scan their MagicBands after a picture is taken by a Disney Photopass photographer or ride attraction and you'll see them appear in your account.
The photos taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers and attractions have a 45-day expiration from the day they were taken so you have lots of time to download them to your computer or save them to a hard copy CD to share. Save $50 when you purchase Memory Maker in advance.
I hope you have a magical and memorable Disney vacation.
~Juliette
