Hello Alicia, and thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I am so excited to hear that you will be starting off 2019 with a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. I absolutely love the
Memory Maker product. I am the unofficial family photographer, and the magical images
Disney’s PhotoPass Photographers are able to capture are amazing.
Your Memory Maker is good for 30 days once it is activated, so both of your reservations will be included. I would suggest waiting until your first images are captured before activating it. Any photos that are linked to your MagicBands during that 30 day period will appear in your PhotoPass account. Once you activate your Memory Maker, you will have 30 days to crop, edit, and download your precious photos. Take as many photos as you like, you can add stickers, borders and even autographs during the editing process. Your Memory Maker allows you unlimited downloads of all your photos. You can also purchase a number of products featuring your photos like calendars, mugs, phone cases, and mouse pads. My favorite product is the Memory Maker Archive DVD. This is a DVD of all the photos on your account at the time you order. I find this is a great way to have a backup of all my wonderful vacation photos. I hope that answers your question. If you need any more advice before you arrive, please come back and visit us again.
Say cheese,
Andrea
