Disney PhotoPass Service's Memory Maker is an all-inclusive photo package that lets you download all of the photos and videos taken of you and your family and friends during your vacation at Walt Disney World Resort. It's designed to capture and preserve every magical moment from your trip, allowing you to focus on enjoying the experience without worrying about taking photos or purchasing them individually.
How Memory Maker Works
Memory Maker seamlessly integrates with your Disney vacation, capturing moments through various dedicated PhotoPass photographers and ride cameras throughout the parks.
- PhotoPass Photographers: Located at iconic spots, character greetings, and special events across all Disney parks and Disney Springs. They take high-quality photos, often including unique "Magic Shots" with Disney characters or effects added later.
- Attraction Photos & Videos: Many popular rides, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, or Splash Mountain, automatically capture photos and even short videos of your experience.
- Linking Photos: Photos and videos are linked to your My Disney Experience account by simply scanning your MagicBand, park ticket, or PhotoPass card with the photographer, or automatically via RFID on attractions.
- Unlimited Downloads: Once linked, you can view, edit, and download all your photos and videos through the My Disney Experience app or website for a set period (typically 45 days from the date the photo was taken, though the Memory Maker package itself allows unlimited downloads of all photos taken within its active window).
