Disney memory maker help

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

i have purchased memory maker. I can see my brothers plans and my Mums plans on my disney experience

A- does this mean their photos will load automatically?

B- on Dec 30 we will start taking photos. If I go online to view and edit does that mean from Dec 30 i have 30 days until all photos must be taken edited and downloaded or 45 days ?

C- when downloading are they done in a zip file or is it all simple?

D- can everyone every night download photos and edit? Or can we all do edits and I do one big download after we are home?

As long as you’re set as family and friends and the option is checked to view each other’s photos, their photos will show in your account.

You have 30 days from activation to take photos. Each photo expires 45 days from the day taken. You can edit and download as many times as you want until the photos expire.

On a computer there is a Download All option that separates your photos into a bunch of zip files to download in batches instead of each photo individually.

The account that purchased and “owns” the memory maker is the only one that can edit and download. Everyone else will see the photos with the watermark on them. What I did when sharing was change my password for a little while after the trip to let everyone else log in and make their edits. Then I downloaded them all and shared them with the family. I used Dropbox but there are many ways you can share with your families. You can also download each night if you want to, but still, only the one account will be able to download the photos.

DARN downloading a zip file is annoying each photo must be converted right?
I was looking on line but it appears that there is no longer an opton to buy a photo cd

We just got our Archive CD! And it still costs $30, and it still has everything, including ride photos, all videos, and very nice stock pictures, in addition to all those you take with photopass. Go to My Disney Experience, click My Photos, fix up your pix the way you want with stickers, borders, etc, and then somewhere on the right hand side of each page will have the offer for a Memory Maker Archive CD, for $30.

I didn’t have to convert anything. Downloaded the zip files and used a program to unzip.

Yeah I've heard a lot about the difficulty downloading them and braced for the worst when I got to downloading. Still not quite sure what all of that was about. We had about three hundred pictures and they downloaded and unzipped in a couple minutes.

All photos, including ride photos and even a couple of little videos with Tink tapping the top of the pic with pixie dust and then flying out of the photo. <g> But yes, all photos. I counted them. <g>

We had to do in small batches. I think 30 at most. We had over 1,000 photos. Plus edits. My bro and his wife are camera hogs. Lol. It willbe more this time as we have 3 extra people one who is their son for his first trip plus they will do pregnancy reveal photos while there.....and i have to deal with Allllll the photos. Sigh.

Maybe they don't mention your own photopass pix until you actually have some and are ready to order your disc with them? Because to be fair, I never look to order the archive disc until I am home and sorting out my pics (borders, stickers, etc). But we've been ordering the archive disc for 3 years now; there should not be a problem getting it. Just this year, though, our own pix were not the first ones on the first disc; this year, they were half way down the first disc lineup, after some stock pix. So this year, we actually got about 1 and a half stock disc worth of pix. Make sure first of all that all your pix are there and that youve decorated them the way you want them before you order the disc, if you do order it. We found it to be a huge time saver.

Exactly what I am hoping for!!!
