Memory maker question

[amberjean15]

We're going to Disney in 16 days!! We did the memory maker on our last two trips one trip we used it a ton the next trip not so much. So here's my question do I have to purchase it before we arrive or can I buy it after we leave?

You can buy it later, but the prices goes up from $169 pre-purchase to $199 after the fact.

Would all the pictures still be on it if I bought it after we leave?

Yes, the pictures expire 45 days after they were taken. So you'd have that long to decide whether or not to buy them individually or with the post-paid MM. Keep in mind that many people like to put on stickers and borders or make other minor edits. If you do this and also wish to keep an unedited version, it counts as 2 picture purchases. (just saying if you are trying to decide between buying photos individually at $15 each vs buying MM, you have to buy 11+ at the discount price or 13+ after the fact to make MM worthwhile)

I decided not to buy this past trip and ended up just buying 7 pictures after the fact with their 30% off deal. It was $73. To be honest, not every picture is great anyway and we take a lot of our own so I got the best of the photopass pics and didn't spend the $170 or the $200.

Just an FYI - if you do the pre-purchase for the discounted price, it doesn't go into effect for 3 days. So, you kinda have to pay the full price if you wait till you get there.

I believe they changed this when they added the watermarks. According to this article -> http://www.wdwmagic.com/other/photo...watermarks-over-images-when-viewed-online.htm

If purchasing a digital copy of a PhotoPass image online, you will be able to download any copies you make of that image without additional charge. A copy image is made when an edit is made, such as cropping, adding a border or other special effect.

Cool - thank you. That's an important change. Even aside from the price, it was goofy when the system didn't automatically "save as" a new file a and you could accidentally lose your unedited picture.
