Memory Maker Help

[Roxylovesbears69]

I have a split stay in Disney
Shaded of Green June 13 to June 18th
BCR Jume 18 to June 28th.
If I link the Memory Maker to my MB with the stay at BCR, am I going to able to start using it on June 13. Or will they mail me a card to use starting on June 13 and then when I get to Disney I can have them link the Memory Maker to the group of MB's.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Bunches.

Memory Maker isn't tied to your stay.

How long does it last then? I am confused on how many days MM is active. I have a stay coming up on May 23-25 and would like to start my MM on May 23. How many days of pictures are included with it? We have plans to visit the parks the couple weekends after as well.

When you buy MM it lets you choose how to receive your card. I picked mine up at will call. It activates once the first picture is taken. I believe it's good for 30 days after that. Or it may be 30 days after you view your photos. I can't remember. Both your trips are in the same month. You will be fine.

ETA- I wanted to double check so you get the right answer and found this on MM Facebook Q&A

Q: How long will my photos be available in my account?
A: Disney PhotoPass Photos, dining photos, attraction photos and any other media in your account with expire pursuant to the expiration policy at https://mydisneyphotopass.disney.go.com/help-and-support (currently 45 days from the date the photo was taken.)

Q: How long can I capture photos with my Memory Maker entitlement?
A: You can begin capturing photos as soon as you purchase Memory Maker. Once you download the first photo or otherwise redeem your Memory Maker entitlement, you then have 30 days to capture more photos (“Memory Maker window.”) Remember to download your photos before they expire. Please not that if Memory Maker was purchased at the advanced purchase price, photos taken within 3 days of the date of purchase will not be included in Memory Maker and must be purchased separately.

So I think the key is not to download and pics early on so you can get both trips in

The way this question is answered on the Memory Maker site is a bit confusing, in my opinion. It says, "You can begin capturing photos as soon as you purchase Memory Maker. Once you download the first photo—or otherwise redeem your Memory Maker purchase—you then have 30 days to capture more photos." This is confusing to me because I don't think that it answers the question. I mean, if you have a laptop or tablet with you, you can start downloading the same day you get your first pictures taken, which means the clock starts ticking that day. But if you wait to download until you get home, then the clock doesn't start until you get home. I suppose the answer then is at least 30 days, but it can be longer, the longer you wait to start downloading. What the site is clear about is that the photos expire 45 days from the date they're taken, although you can purchase an extension.
