Any problems with Memory Maker?

This is our fist trip with Magic Bands. We've previously pre-purchased Photo Pass Plus so I understand how the digital downloads work.

My questions surround how the photos get saved to my MDE account. The way I understand that it works is that you ride a ride that includes photos and/or videos and it automatically loads to my Memory Maker which has been attached to each of our Magic Bands. Is this correct? I don't need to stop by a kiosk to scan my MB?

Also, I understand that when the park photographers take photos of us, they will then scan one of our MBs. Is that correct?

Have any of you had problems with the ride photos showing up?

Anything else I should have asked or should know about?

Thanks for your help.
 
You got it. Photographers scan a band and the rides are supposed to pick up your signal automatically. For us, there were no problems in MK or HS on the rides, but in AK, my ride photos are of people I've never seen before.
 
You're right about how it works. Occasionally people have troubles with their puctures not appearong in the account, but MM support is great about finding lost photos if you can tell them roughly when/where it was taken & describe who's in it.

Remember to stop often at photographers & ask for magic shots too, to get the most out of your photos!

If you do any audience participation things like Enchanted Tales, Jedi Training, or Pirates League you'll get tons of pictures there, too.
 

Some photos of mine got lost and I told them the date and time and sent them another picture of my kids from the same day and they found them. I thought pics were missing at AK and they went through all the photos of that photographer to look.

They didn't initially upload all my pics...they gave me a free extension. And a free disc of my pictures. I didn't download it fast enough because of personal problems at home and they extended AGAIN and shipped the disc to me anyways. Not only were those 900 photos awesome the service around it was great!

I had one lot of Space Mountain photos that weren't of me but you could see my legs in the next car and one lot from HS with Sorcerer Mickey but other than that they all just magically appeared on my MDE account.

Just look out for the beep and I think green light when the photographer takes your photo and you should be fine but like PPs have said the Memory Maker support team are brilliant at finding any lost pics.

And definitely ask for magic photos. I didn't and now regret it but I know for next time!
 
We did it our last trip and none of the pictures had the magic characters in them. They were onscreen online but every dvd they sent, they were missing. They tried 3 times. Never worked. We spent so much time looking for those photographers and it was just a total waste of money for us.
 
I'm afraid I'll forget ones we took. Is there a way to check them in the evenings and see what's there? I'm pretty sure I can remember what I did the same day :-)
