Hey there, hi there, Daye! Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so glad you've stopped by with another great planning question.
Eeeek! Before you know it, you'll be arriving at
The Most Magical Place on Earth, ready to begin your magical adventure. How exciting! Since you already have your
Memory Maker purchased and ready to go, it sounds as if your planning is off to a practically perfect start. As the family member who always seems to be behind the camera, I
love that the
Disney PhotoPass service allows me to be in all of our vacation photos and that I have access to unlimited photo downloads with Memory Maker. It's the best way to preserve those magical memories for a lifetime. Now, let's make sure you can preserve your pixie-dusted pics!
Hakuna Matata, Daye. It means "no worries!" There is no need to select which theme park day you'd like to use your Memory Maker One Day in advance. On the day you would like to use your Memory Maker, after you take your first PhotoPass photo, log in to your My Disney Experience app, tap the three-line menu icon on the bottom of the screen and then the "Photos" tile. Tap your photo, and you should see an option to activate your Memory Maker. Once activated, you will be able to download every photo or attraction video taken that day. Say "cheese!"
If you would like to wait until after your vacation to choose which days you'd like to use your Memory Maker One Day, you can do that, too! That way, you can see which photos are your favorite before you choose. To maximize your memories and your purchase, be sure to take the time to stop by as many PhotoPass photographers as you can (they are now wearing lime green shirts and are easier to spot), and always ask them if they have any Magic Shots. You just never know what kind of pixie dust they can sprinkle on your photos!
I hope this was helpful, Daye, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable upcoming vacation! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have. You've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
