AP and PhotoPass?

[jsmla]

After a lot of thinking on it I finally decided to renew my AP during my trip earlier this month. Our kids were older when PhotoPass came along so we really never used it much and not at all since Memory Maker was introduced. How does this benefit work and how does Memory Maker differ from PhotoPass? I'm mainly interested in the ride photos, are they included?

Thanks!

If a ride has a photo, it's included with either product.

The primary different between an AP w/PhotoPass downloads and Memory Maker is the download window and expiration date of the pictures.

With Memory Maker, you have a 30 day download window from the date you download the first picture. Pictures will expire 45 days from date taken (this is the normal PhotoPass expiration policy).
With an AP that has the PhotoPass download entitlement, pictures expire one year from date taken and you can download them at anytime as long as the pass is valid.

We just got back from a trip with an AP photo pass. It worked wonderfully. We could see all of our photos in MDE and downloading worked the same as it does with MM - except now you can download directly from MDE to your phone or upload photos to Facebook. You can also email photos to friends and family back home. It's a nice perk. And the photos are available for a full year. Be sure to seek out the photo pass photographers and get a lot of fun photos. Ask for magic shots. We had a great time taking photos and I just made a personal video of our trip using Disney photos.

I don't know if this is true as we haven't tested it yet but a CM told me if you have people in your party that don't have AP PP, they won't be able to see your pictures after.

I'm not sure if that's true, but friends of mine have had trouble looking at the pictures. We all have AP's, but mine was done the day of the switch and theirs were done before that option. When they tried to see the pics they weren't able to access. It also could be a glitch since we were on our phones.
