More Information About Memory Maker

 

Imagine if magical moments of your vacation were captured for you, so you could actually be in the moment. Memory Maker lets you do just that, preserving those special moments for you, so you can just relax and simply enjoy the fun of being with your family in the most magical place on Earth.

 

It starts with our team of Disney PhotoPass™ Photographers who’ll preserve magical memories for your family at hundreds of photo locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort. All those great shots are magically yours: posing in front of Cinderella Castle, screaming down your Splash Mountain ® plunge, hugging Mickey Mouse and so much more.

 

Just associate your photos to your My Disney Experience account and enjoy an unlimited array of all the photos taken by Disney PhotoPass Photographers during your vacation, PLUS photos taken at select attraction and dining locations. Forget about having to purchase each photo individually—with Memory Maker you’ll get digital copies of them all to download. They’re yours, automatically! So you can relive all your memories and share them with family and friends.

 

August 2015 Changes

 

Water Marks

 

When you view PhotoPass photos online or on MyDisneyExperience, you will now see a watermark across the picture. The “Disney PhotoPass” watermark may make it more difficult to decide if the picture is worth purchasing. You will also not be able to screenshot the photo and keep it forever. This may be the one negative change, but the other changes will make this seem unimportant.

 

MyDisneyExperience App

 

The MyDisneyExperience App is an invaluable tool while visiting Disney, but changes involving PhotoPass will make it even better! The app lists everything from wait times to restroom and ATM locations, and it will now show the locations of PhotoPass Photographers. This means that you won’t have to wander around searching for a Photographer, but you’ll be able to find the closest photographer to your location or find out if a photographer is stationed at a location where you want to get a picture taken before you walk all the way there.  Here is an important detail...If you prepurchase and get a code you can still link this to your account.  You will have to add the code under Ticket & Passes>Link a Ticket or pass.  You will not be able to link it under "Link a Memory Maker"  This link is for the code on the actuall product.

 

Digital and Print Copies

 

The PhotoPass of the past required users to purchase digital and print copies separately, but no more! When you purchase a digital copy of a print, you’ll also get a printed copy of any size! What’s even better is that there’s no additional fee! You should be aware, though, that this perk is only available online; digital purchases made in the park will not come with a print.

 

Unlimited Edits

 

PhotoPass has long allowed guests to edit their photos with borders, text, zooming, and cropping. However, it used to be that you had to purchase and download a photo every time you wanted to keep an edit of a photo. Now, Disney only requires that you purchase the photo once. Then you can make as many edits as you want and keep all of them. This is perhaps a response to how easy it has become to do basic and even more advanced photo editing with many online software programs.
