Attractions +

[Hoopfamily]

can anyone say rig this is still available? Used to be for just the attraction photos. Can't find it anymore.

I am very interested in this as well. We purchased Attractions+ in 2013 and would like to do so in July, but I can't seem to find any recent information on it. Do they still offer it and if so, is the price still $44.95?

We were in WDW last week and it was still available for $44.95.

What is Attractions+?

What is Attractions+?

It's basically Memory Maker for rides only (no characters, icons or meals).

What is Attractions+?

It's a version of Memory Maker for the attractions that offer photos. Individual prints are $14.95/ea whereas Attractions+ is $44.95 and includes all of the on-ride photos (Buzz, Splash, 7DMT, TT, etc.).

I never heard of this but I'm intrigued. Does it include the 7DMT video also?

 

[CWdreamer]

Thank you and I am glad that they still offer Attractions+. For us it was a great deal and will definitely purchase it again.

As for the videos, my understanding is that you have to have a magic band and Memory Maker for the videos and that it uses the RFID technology and automatically adds the video to the Memory Maker account. I have searched high and low and believe that the videos are only included with Memory Maker, which for us doesn't make financial sense because we don't use the Photopass Photographers, we take our own photos and only purchase ride photos. I would like the videos, but I'm not willing to pay for Memory Maker to get them, so we will just stick with Attractions+.

Has anyone done this and know how it works? Do you buy a card and link it to your MDE account like the Memory Maker, and it "unlocks" downloading of attraction photos?

We ended up splitting the Memory Maker package last year with a few other families, but I really only want the attraction photos in the future, if anything.

Thank you! I had not heard of this - looks like it's not as widely publicized as Memory Maker. I've decided against the Memory Maker as I don't want to pay that much for tons of posed photos (and they'll use our camera too), but was really bummed about missing out on all the ride photos. Sounds like this is what I was looking for!

When we did this in 2013, and the first time we wanted to purchase a ride photo, we paid for Attractions+ at the ride photo counter and they gave us a card that we just handed the CM's in the other ride photo counters. However, with the Magic Bands now in play, I'm not sure if we will still receive a card or just scan the magic band.

This is great to hear. It will be my bf's first trip to Disney ever, and while we didn't want to spend the money on Memory Maker, this option for the ride photos seems perfect!

 

[Hoopfamily]

Thanks everyone all good info.

I wanted to follow up with our experience with Attractions+ on our trip a few weeks ago.

They do not advertise Attractions+ so I asked the CM at the attraction and purchased it for $45 +tax. After each ride, we went to the Photo Pass counter, they brought up our photo and they placed it on the card. For 7DMT, the photos were picked up on the magic band automatically so I didn't need to do anything with the card. I was able to view all my photos on the Photo Pass website without any issues and even found out that the photos that I forgot to have loaded to the card at Test Track were on there because of the RFID reader on our Magic Bands.

When I got home and tried to download the photos, it wanted me to purchase them, but I had already done that when I paid for Attractions +. Therefore, I called Photo Pass customer service and was told that they started having this problem with the Attractions + card once Memory Maker was rolled out. However, it was an easy fix to allow me to download the photos. Much to my surprise, I also received bonus stock photos from each park and the video from the Tower of Terror. I did ask about the video from 7DMT and it is only for those who purchase Memory Maker.

For me, Attractions + is worth the money because for $45, I received 8 photos of our rides, two videos (we rode Tower of Terror twice) and all the bonus photos. Unfortunately, I have a hunch that this will be phased out at some point to try to push Memory Maker instead. Until then, it's a great deal!

Awesome.

I love the "As part of ongoing enhancements to the Disney PhotoPass offerings..." spin. It's making me downright dizzy.

Too bad. We purchased Attractions+ on several trips, and sorry to learn that it is no longer an option.
