Memory Maker/Photo Pass downloads

[Maotown]

Just got back from our trip (which was awesome!) and I finally have time to poke around the Photopass site to look at all the pics of us. We bought the Memory Maker and I think it was totally worth it because we took the time to take a lot of pics that otherwise we wouldn't have bothered with.

One thing though... I noticed that on the "Products" page, there is a listing for "Photo Downloads" for $14.95. I've attached a screenshot of the product page. Does anyone know what this is for? I thought you get unlimited downloads (within the specific time frame, I forget how many days). Thanks in advance for the insight!

I saw that but it only came up after our 30 days (or whatever the limit is) was up. When you look at your pictures do you have the option to download them? If so do it that way because your're supposed to have unlimited downloads for the time period. It's kind of a PITA, so maybe that $14.95 buys you a way to download them in an organized, easy way. I don't know, but you shouldn't have to pay any more to get them.

Hm that may be it. I just checked and I do have the option to download them, so I just did that! Thank you!

It's weird though - the top right on the main page says I have 409 photos but when I go to download them, it only says I have 282 items. I've attached screenshots. I don't want to have to sift through all the photos to make sure I'm not missing any, but I have no idea why there's such a discrepancy in the numbers!

They include dozens of "stock photos" in with your personal pics. Like professional shots of the Festival of Fantasy parade and the Lion King show at AK. I don't recall if there are over 100 of them but I do know they make up a chunk of your total photos number. I don't know why they add those, they're so slick and impersonal. I don't like them. Maybe for scrapbooking or something.

Edit: Wait a sec, if you did the Download All option then the stock photos would be included so the total number should be the same. You might have to sift.

@joyjoy Ah, that's it, thank you! I added up the number of stock photos and they make up the missing number of photos exactly. I double checked the files I downloaded and took a look at the number of photos actually of us, and they're the 282 I was expecting. Wish Disney made it a little clearer about what's what though! Like list - X personal photos plus Y stock photos, equals Z total photos.
