I just bought the 3 day pass w/LL at DL. ($660 each, no Hopper) I asked again about Peak Dates. He said there is only one, Dec. 20-Jan. 3rd. I told him another MS told me other dates, but he said they must have been thinking when peak times are to go to DL. He sounded very confident.

Now I'm really confused. Here's the price list I printed today from the DVC website. $660 would be much higher than shown here even for peak, even including taxes. The $505 is the price the DL website showed me for a 3-day adult hopper, although the dates we're considering aren't available for purchase yet.

Sorry-$330 for one-3 day ticket. I bought two, my wife and myself.

Thanks! I was hoping that was the case - and hoping the tickets were not different prices based on individual dates like WDW tickets are!

Curious what you mean by ..."the dates we're considering aren't available for purchase yet." I thought you could buy for any time during the year 2025.

On the Disneyland website, sorry. You make park reservations when buying, and today you can buy only through August, I think. So i was worried that the prices actually changed with dates even though it didn’t look like it.

I see-I just assumed with MMB, you could get the tickets for any dates. Wonder if anyone else has tried.

The person I spoke to earlier today confirmed that it is just Dec-Jan for Peak times.

The tickets you purchased is that a typo? That is more expensive than even peak times.

My rep stated my tickets would be $601 each without MMB but with it the 3 day with LL was $420

Edit: Sorry I thought I was on the last page, I now see where you commented

Sorry mine are for June so that is not much help to you

I looked again at the DL ticket website, and the price doesn’t vary by date, at least through August. The calendar is there only for making park reservations. So I don’t think the MMB price will vary either, except for the peak dates, of course.

Since it says we can buy OTU points for the AP, we may be able to do that without the need for a reservation.

I have not yet tried but may be soon. I’ll let you know what happens.

This was probably already long since answered, but I'm way behind on the post. Still, I was able to purchase OTU directly to pay for my AP renewals, without having to first make a reservation.

Question: I see the Memory Maker confirmation on MDE and I'm going to WDW with friends next week, but I don't want to use MM until March with my family. How do I make sure I don't "accidently" activate use next week?

Is there a step to actually activate MM or will it automatically activate if I use my MagicBand for photos?

I’m not sure but I mentioned earlier there is an ability to transfer for it. You could transfer it someone that is not going this week but will be with you in March.

There is a manual step to activate Memory Maker. Your photos will have watermarks on them by default, but if you want to download any photos and remove the watermarks, you'll be prompted to activate your Memory Maker purchase. So long as you don't try to download any of the restricted photos, you shouldn't have any challenges saving your MM entitlement.

Thanks. I may try this out just to be safe.

So if I just want one or two pictures, someone else in my group should download the pictures?

That's probably the easiest way to avoid any potential accidents.

I'm not sure if/how to buy photos a la carte within the app, but maybe others here have experience.

I've always used Memory Maker when I wanted to restricted download photos, so that's how I know there's always a prompt/warning about activating it.

Hmmm, we have APs expiring next month, and the photopass add-on is on my AP. We bought MMB on DH’s account and have a trip starting next week. It is likely we visit WDW later this year without APs and we would want to use the MMB Memory Maker that trip.

Is there anything we should do to avoid accidentally activating it?

Reassign the Memory maker to someone who is not going on the upcoming trip.

 

[Brian Noble]

That someone doesn’t even have to be real.

 

[eandt]

How do you reassign the memory maker? I’m not even clear on the difference between MM and photopass

Heading to WDW in November and looked into the "discount" MMB tickets. Turns out they are actually more expensive then 3rd party websites, and also don't include a weekend day.
