How do you activate Memory Maker?

[bcinohio]

How do you activate Memory Maker? We purchased it with our package for July. When we got Photopass plus in the past we had to take the voucher and redeem it to activate it. We did this at the place inside Team Mickey at DTD. How do you activate MM? Will we get a voucher and have to do the same thing? from what I have read you can just have the PP photographers scan you MB now instead of the card.

I'm subbing because I am trying to learn about it too. I never thought about how to get started.

Wondering the same thing. (Thanks for asking!)

I just came to ask the same question!

I'm just taking a guess that maybe it's automatically loaded onto the band, but I'd like to know fore sure as well.

It depends on where you purchase it.

If you linked to your resort reservation, it will be in the name of the primary guest. When you link your resort reservation it will be linked to the primary guest. If you are going to be the memory maker and you aren't the primary guest, I would fix it.

If purchase from mydisneyexperience, you'll pick up a card at will call and will have to link it to your account.

I used MM last week. I already had a room-only reservation linked to MBs through the MDE website. When I ordered MM, I chose the "pick up at will call" option. But I didn't have to actually pick up anything... it was automatically linked to my MBs and ready to use the second we entered the park.

I also used Memory Maker last week and it was already linked to my Magic Band when I checked in at POP. Everyone in my group of eleven had been linked to it under my family and friends (my Disney Experience) and we could all use our Magic Bands for pictures.

How did you get everyone else's magic bands to link. I'm going with 13 people and I am listed as the primary user. Will their magic bands link to it?

 

[mariethecat]

Do you have them linked in my family and friends under your Disney account? We had 5 rooms and 11 people at POP last week and I had them all listed under My Disney Experience, then My account, then My Family and Friends. It worked for all of us as we used all the Magic Bands and I have all the pictures that were taken by the Photopass photographers by everyone in our group.
The biggest advantage over the old system was anyone could claim pictures taken on rides whereas in our last trip only the person with the card could do that. We got lots more pictures on this trip than the last two times I had bought the Photopass.

I ordered MM in advance and chose the shipping (not will call) option. I received a card in the mail (like a Photo Pass card) about 1-2 weeks later, and it had a number on the back of it. I added that number under My Reservations in MDE to link it to myself.

Ok if I am understanding this correctly it is already linked to my reservation since I had our travel agent add it to our package. Also all 4 of us can use the magic bands to add ride, character, dinner, photo pass pics right? We r all linked together and we r staying in the same room. Can anyone let me know if this is correct?

Thanks

That is the way I understand it, and that is what I am going on.

When you order Memory maker, you should get a confirmation number. Mine was 4 letters followed by numbers. I went my MDE account and added it. You can find the place to add it by going to My Reservations and Tickets in MDE, and then clicking on the Link Memory Maker button.

If you purchased Memory Maker on the Photopass website or through ticketing, you should get a Memory Maker card in the mail. There is a code on the back of the card that can be added the same place in MDE.

Per another thread, if you have added it to your reservation or some purchases online, there is a bug in their system where you will not get an email confirmation. You will need to call TICKETING to get your Memory Maker number (NOT reservations), or print a copy of the confirmation screen of your purchase on the computer.

I really hope that everyone on my account can use the Memory Maker. We do not have separate accounts - I manage everyone. I made DH my manager of the Memory Maker thinking that he would be the one to get the ride photos and that it still needed to be the primary person. Hopefully that is not true. Hopefully, I will have access to the pictures as well, seeing as Disney does not have a separate email for DH. We shall see.

I have heard of people missing pictures. I hope that bug has been worked out.

I would say add it to your cart and see what happens. I would assume that it would show nothing owed and would then start the download.

That didn't work. I think I'm going to call this morning & see if I get lucky with a CM that can help. I've tried every combination of everything I can think of. This is so frustrating, I know change is often good but photopass worked just fine!
