Hi Barbara!
Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Memory Maker is an incredible way to enjoy unlimited digital Disney PhotoPass photos captured at hundreds of locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort—including select attraction and dining locations. These are probably some of my favorite photo ops. My family and I have a contest to see who can make the goofiest alien face on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.
As far as ease of use is concerned, the photos are conveniently connected to your online Disney account with a touch of your MagicBand or card. You can find Disney PhotoPass photographers at the park entrances, main icons and at many of your favorite Disney Character meet ‘n’ greet locations.
Now for the big question - is Memory Maker worth the price? I think that depends on how much you use it? How long will you be in the parks? Will you take the time to take pictures? I personally love it and always make room in my budget for Memory Maker. The number one reason I love Memory Maker is that I am in the pictures with my family. As the mom, I'm often the one snapping pictures on my phone. You can certainly request that a Disney PhotoPass Photographer use your camera to take a photo of your family, however, it's different when they get many shots with their camera, and they are ALL yours. When you enter the theme parks, ask for Magic Shots for a little surprise added to your Disney photos.
My family and I also enjoy adding different borders and stickers to the photos online. We relive the magical memories we made when we get home. You can also check out the
Memory Maker Frequently Asked Questions.
If you do decide to purchase Memory Maker, save $30 by purchasing at least 3 days in advance. Best of luck with your decision!
