1. So really the only difference is with Memory Maker you purchase the photos ahead of time, correct?
2. If I don't purchase Memory Maker, I will still have the ability to purchase any Photopass photos after the fact?
Photopass is basically the file of all your photos.Photopass allows me to select which photos I wish to purchase?
I think I get it now - Memory Maker, regardless of when I purchase it, gives me all of the pictures taken during our trip. Photopass allows me to select which photos I wish to purchase?
Accident, your explanation is making me think it will be wise for me to buy memory maker for Christmas photos! I may be a little short on time after our trip to do editing, though; do you know if my (adult) daughter would also have access to edit from her computer? We're listed together on MDE.Photopass is all the photos that disney takes for you (rides, photographers, etc). Think of it like the chinese buffet you dine at time to time. At that buffet, you can either purchase a la carte, by weight or a flat rate for everything you can consume. Memory maker is the all you can eat photopass otpion.
Where people get tricked up, is it's free to use photopass but you have to pay for the photos you want and it's just options to get stuff. I think right now it comes out so if your going to buy 8ish photos, prepurchasing memory maker is less money. If you don't get it and come home to find there's about 10 photos you want (or more) then the post purchase memory maker price is better (still cheaper to prebuy but sometimes you just didn't think you'd use it so score, you save some money just not as much as you could have). Now if all those photos you want happen to be on the same day, then the 1 day memory maker option that appears after your trip is actually more cost effective and then just get the 1 or 2 more photos by themselves that aren't on that day.. unless your buying a 1 day ticket and then you can add on the 1 day photopass with the ticket purchase if you know you are going to use it (but no cost savings so no reason to prebuy it).
It's confusing as hell but all of disney is so why not make this confusing. If your after 1 photo in every park, it's cheaper to just buy the photos 1 at a time. Also there is no garuntee you like the photo that was taken, they aren't professional photographers that are taking them, those photographers are the ones you can book via the wedding site for a special event or just some great disney photos of the family around the place.
Of course linking your mde account to your AP friends MDE account and they can download and send you all the photos for no additional cost to them. take them to dinner or have them over for drinks and thank them. but the catch22 on this if you want to use the editing features before you download the photos, then you have to be logged into photopass using the same account that will be doing the download...
Good luck!
for me the one time memory maker worked out better was our first halloween and christmas trips. We wanted to get pictures all over the place with the decorations as it was a dream to visit that time of year. Otherwise, maybe we get 1 photo at each park to document that trip and the rest we take ourselves.

Ok, just making sure I understand this as well...was thinking about just getting the MM for the Christmas party. That would be considered 1 day, just like any other 1 day? And I can add that afterwards with no penalty? It would be the same price so I can see if I actually like the pics before comitting to buying?Photopass is all the photos that disney takes for you (rides, photographers, etc).

Yes. You actually need photos in your Photopass account and only then will the one-day pricing option appear.Ok, just making sure I understand this as well...was thinking about just getting the MM for the Christmas party. That would be considered 1 day, just like any other 1 day? And I can add that afterwards with no penalty?
