Memory Maker, Magic Bands, off-site questions

[NewmouseMama]

Hi, There will be two families vacationing together, 5 in each We are all staying off-site, but at two different resorts. Can we get one Memory Maker and somehow link all 10 people to each of our accounts and then share Memory Maker? I believe if this is possible we will all just have access to everyone's photos but that's not really an issue for us.
Also, the Magic Bands are cute, but we do not get them for free since we are off-site and will have to pay extra for them. The husbands couldn't care less about them but the kids would really like them. Can we just get them for the kids to use for FP+ and as souvenirs and the adults still use the cards for Memory Maker, park entry and FP+ lines?
Finally, I haven't seen it mentioned but is there any sort of e-ticket or a way to have your ticket scanned on the Disney app?
Thanks!!!!

Yes you can. I actually had everyone but my husband on my MDE account, but if the other family has an MDE account you can link them to your account as well and share the memory maker. We ended up with 15 people sharing it, and we had various resorts between us all. You just have to have the people who have MDE accounts linked as friends and then there is an option to click to allow access to MDE.

Yes. We had Magic Bands because we stayed on property the first part of our trip, but the kids had a second set I bought them because they loved the characters on them. They were easily able to use them even after we moved off property and those with the cards just used their cards, we had talked about getting my niece and nephew magic bands as well, they were off property the whole time, but they never asked about it so we didn't.

Not sure what you are asking here, if you are asking if you can use your phone as your ticket, no you can't. If you are asking if you can have info about your ticket in the app, if you buy your ticket through Disney it is already there, if you buy it elsewhere you just have to link it. Since it uses radio frequency for most of it's functions they have not set it up so you can use your phone instead of your ticket, you will need a magic band or card.
