Hi John!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thank YOU so much for your service to our country! I'm an Air Force wife, and I'm so thankful that Disney keeps showing their appreciation to U.S. Service Members by renewing such amazing military
theme park ticket and
resort hotel promotions year after year.
I was actually at Walt Disney World Resort last week and purchased a
Memory Maker PhotoPass package utilizing this amazing offer. You are correct that this special price can only be redeemed once in Orlando, but I'm happy to share that it can be purchased at any
Guest Relations location at any point during your vacation for this price while still keeping all of your photos. Last week our group of four best AF wife friends and our collective kids didn't add a Memory Maker until our 3rd day in town. I also visited in March and did add this option the day before I first stepped through a turnstile. Both transactions took under five minutes, and I was able to view and download every picture taken both before and soon after the activation with no time lag or waiting period like what is stipulated on the non-military Memory Maker purchases.
To make for a seamless transition on your vacation, make sure that you and your travel partners are all linked in your '
Family and Friends list' of your My Disney Experience account before you arrive. Also double check that each person has checked the 'Share PhotoPass Photos' box and you'll be good to go!
We'll See You Real Soon, John!
