Capturing the Magic with Memory Maker


I absolutely love taking photos on my Walt Disney World vacations! As the designated photographer in my family, I take a lot of photos but I'm not always in the photos. The Disney PhotoPass Service is a great way to capture all of your magical vacation moments and get everyone in the picture. 

Disney PhotoPass photographers are located throughout the Walt Disney World Resort, at select attractions and iconic park locations, to capture those vacation memories with one-of-a-kind photo opportunities. You'll enjoy professional photos of magical moments, attraction photos and videos, and pictures with characters. There's also Magic Shots, a Disney PhotoPass exclusive, like Tiny World Magic Shots, Super Zoom Magic Shots and Classic & Animated Magic Shots. These Magic Shots add a little extra pixie dust to your photos and are a fun surprise.

If you're looking for added value and convenience, then you'll want to take advantage of Memory Maker. Memory Maker allows you to enjoy all the Disney PhotoPass photos and videos from your vacation, plus special extras, for one price. The best part is that with Memory Maker you don't have to decide which of your vacation photos you want to keep since you get to download them all! Not only will you get unlimited downloads but you can also view and download photos of up to 25 members of your Family & Friends list who share their media with you.

Memory Maker includes:

  • Photos taken at more than 100 locations: 
    • Iconic spots at all 4 parks
    • Select character meet-and-greet locations
    • Select attractions
    • Portrait studios
  • Over 75 unique Magic Shots, including Super Zoom and Tiny World Magic Shots
  • Capture Your Moment or Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experiences (sessions booked and sold separately)
  • Access to create, download, and save your Disney PhotoPass video memories
There are a few ways to purchase Memory Maker; Memory Maker Advance Purchase, Memory Maker (During or Post-Vacation) or Memory Maker One Day. The price varies depending on which option you purchase and all purchases are nonrefundable. As of this posting, the current prices are:
  • Memory Maker (Advance Purchase) - $185
    Save when you buy in advance! Includes all your vacation photos and videos from within 30 days of activation. However, any photos taken within 3 days of (or prior to) the date Memory Maker is purchased are not included and must be purchased separately. This option can be added on to your Walt Disney World vacation package or purchased separately. 
  • Memory Maker (During and Post-Vacation) - $210
    Includes all your vacation photos and videos taken within 30 days of activation.
  • Memory Maker One Day - $75
    Includes all your photos and videos from one day of your choosing.

Photos taken through the Disney PhotoPass service will appear in your gallery, on the My Disney Experience app and online, just moments after they are taken. Magic Shots and attraction photos can take a little longer to appear but they are usually available for download less than 24 hours after the photo was taken.

Important Details and Tips

  • If you want to take advantage of the advance purchase price, make sure you purchase more than 3 days prior to arrival. Better yet, ask your Kingdom Konsultant travel professional to add Memory Maker to your vacation package so you don't forget to purchase in time to capture all of your photos!
  • Remember to download your photos! Disney PhotoPass photos and videos expire 45 days from the date they are taken and once they expire, they can no longer be purchased or downloaded. Don't let those vacation memories disappear!
  • Make sure to link your Memory Maker purchase to your My Disney Experience account. If you purchase Memory Maker as part of your vacation package it should automatically link once you link your reservation confirmation number. 
  • Be on the lookout for Disney PhotoPass photographers and take as many photos as possible. Keep your eyes open and look for the Cast Members in the lime green uniforms. Once they take your photos, simply scan your MagicBand or Disney MagicMobile Pass for the photos to appear in your My Disney Experience account. 
Memory Maker can be a great asset to your vacation. It's an easy way to make sure your entire family gets in the picture and that you bring home some photos with an extra dose of Disney magic.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th
