    As a retired military member, can I purchase a discounted Memory Maker for my Son who will be with me at Disney World?

    Hiya Gregory,

    Welcome to planDisney! First, I would like to begin by thanking you for your service. As the daughter of two Air Force veterans, I am honored to be a small part of the magic of your upcoming trip.

    I’m glad you have heard about the specially priced Memory Maker for Eligible Service Members. Memory Maker is one of my favorite things to have for my trip as a mom of two; I love capturing all the photos of the trip and being able to look back at all the memories we have made. If you are an Eligible Service Member (an active or retired member of the US Military, including Reservists, US Coast Guard, US Space Force, National Guard, or Commissioned Corps of NOAA), you can purchase the Memory Maker at any ticket window at one of the theme parks. The great news is that you can buy up to 2 Memory Makers as an Eligible Service Member, but the even better news is that you will only need one! With one Memory Maker, you will be able to access and download the photos of anyone in your Family and Friends list (up to 25 people), so that would include your son who is traveling with you (and anyone else).

    I hope this was helpful, Gregory, and that you get a chance to purchase Memory Maker for your trip. Before I let you go, don’t forget that any photos you take during your vacation must be downloaded before they disappear, like magic, 45 days after they are taken. I like to wait until I get home from my vacation and download all my photos at once using the website. If you use your mobile device, you will need to download each one individually, and depending on the number of images you have taken, this process can take a considerable amount of time. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.
