How do I use Memory Maker?

[Tash87]

I have memory maker but am wondering how it works.

Do we have a photopass type card? Or do the photos get scanned against my magic band to my account?

Hey

You have you photo taken, the photographer scans your band, and then you can log into your MDE account and see the photos. It also takes photos on some rides and adds it to your account automatically.

Thank you Jon.

So when it takes a photo on a ride it will add automatically without having to do anything?

 

[Jon84]

Yeah it does on some rides (Seven Dwarfs, Splash Mountain) Others you touch your band at the end of the ride below the screen that has you on it

Can you log in right away to see the photos? Can you log in on a smartphone or would a laptop be better?

I've never checked till I got back before. I think it is quite quick though. Smartphone or Laptop work fine

I believe there's also some small videos of some the rides as well...Right?

Oh I didn't know about the ride photos! That's great to know. We have MM for the first time next year, and I'm now really looking forward to seeing the ride photos.

If you are staying at a Disney Resort, there are manned desks in the lobby specifically for MM (you can buy prints there, or wait until you get home). Cast members can scan your band and your photos so far appear on the big screen at this desk. You can view your photos there daily -- we did this each night to be sure we got good shots, got a good mix of locations, or knew what locations needed a do-over before we left. When we got home, everything was on MDE for editing, ordering, etc.

Sometimes you can see them right away, sometimes it takes a bit longer for them to be added to your account (a few hours). You can see them on a smartphone from the PP site. Editing them I find to be much easier from a laptop.

Yep there's videos on 7dmt and ToT
