Memory Maker question- Do they have to scan MY band or can it be anyone in my "party"

[ophelia2002]

Anyone know? Since I am the primary person, does it always have to be me or could it be anyone connected to me, like hubby or kids?

If the others in your party are controlled by you and don't have their own MDE account, they are automatically linked to the MM and can scan their band. If they have their own MDE and are linked to you (friends and family), you need to go into their settings and make sure to activate the setting that allows them to use/see the MM photos.

Yes, supposedly anyone linked to your MDE account can have their bands scanned. Now having said that, we recently returned from a 9 day trip at WDW using Memory Maker and atleast 50% of the photos were not showing up... especially our ride photos. Supposedly for the ride photos you don't have to scan your band at all, the photos are just automatically linked to your account. But just to be safe, MANY times we had our bands scanned for the ride photos and they still didn't show up in our account. I contacted customer support and emailed them the dates and times of our various Fastpass reservation times and they were able to find all but two ride photos I think. So take that info for what it's worth. Keep track of your FP times, you might need that info later.

Hmm, we did not have that issue at all. Maybe we got lucky. Originally I couldn't see dh's photos because his account didn't link to mine right and I was the primary. But after a quick fix, I got them all.
