Hi Karen, welcome to planDisney!
I salute your family's service to our country as well as your efforts to plan an unforgettable Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
Memory Maker is my most recommended souvenEAR because it gives you unlimited downloads of Disney PhotoPass images and media throughout your trip. This includes pictures in front of Cinderella Castle, pictures with
Mickey at Town Square Theater, pictures on Space Mountain,
Super Zoom Magic Shots, and more!
Eligible Service Members can purchase
Memory Maker for a star-spangled price once they've arrived at Walt Disney World Resort. My family recently purchased Memory Maker with a military discount at the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs at the same time as we activated our Disney Military Salute tickets. Valid military identification is required at the time of purchase, which explains why you won't find the military discount online. The specially-priced Memory Maker product can also be purchased at any theme park ticket window.
It's helpful to know that one Memory Maker purchase includes
Disney PhotoPass media for up to 25 members of your
Family and Friends List that share media with you. My father-in-law is the Eligible Service Member in my family, but Memory Maker was linked to my account because I am the person in charge of downloading and sharing all Disney PhotoPass images in my family. That means I was the only one that could view unwatermarked images in the
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the home page --> Photos). The Memory Maker purchase was activated as soon as I clicked to download the first image and it stayed active for thirty days. I downloaded and shared select photos throughout our trip and did a mass download at home once I had access to my laptop. Kindly note that Disney PhotoPass images expire 45 days after the date they are taken.
I hope this is helpful information, Karen. Thank you for trusting planDisney with your trip-planning questions and thank you for your service.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
