Memory Maker Questions-Please Help!

[DisneyDeb83]

We are heading down in a few weeks and have a 5 day hopper with the free dining. Day one we will be upgrading to an annual pass to use the remainder of the trip and another visit in January .
If I upgrade to the least expensive pass (? gold?), I will get the MM? If so, what does that entail? From what I understand I can get our pictures taken by any Disney photographer and have access to them online for 12 months?
Would I be able to get physical copies of them? I am clueless, obviously, when it comes to all this!
It is just going to be DH and me, and we normally don't have pictures of the two of us taken at Disney so I thought it might be nice. I've been reading up on MM and it's still confusing to me! TIA!

Memory Maker is a product. You don't get it with an AP, but you get something similar; access to unlimited downloads of photopass photos for a year. So, it's like Memory Maker, but better because it lasts longer.

You get the rights to the photos, so you can download them and print them yourself or through any of the online or local photo places.

You do get the downloads if you have a Gold pass. But you have to be a FL resident or DVC owner to purchase the Gold.

You are correct about the 12 months.

You can download the images and print them at home or send them to a printer. Or you can purchase prints from Disey, but it's cheaper to do it yourself.

So, if I'm not a Florida resident, what pass is the cheapest to upgrade to? Don't know why I thought it was the gold! Back to the Disney website for more reading!
