memory maker - will call

[MistressGracey]

I pre-ordered memory maker last month for our trip next week - after paying it gave me the option for shipping or will call pick up. Is there actually something to "pick up" or activate from will call in order to use memory maker?

I just assumed that as soon as I go to the parks and the PP photographer scans my band everything gets sent to my MDE account for me to download...

If not, I need to know how to fit in a trip to will call before our early 8 am ressie on our first day - but if I dont have to that would be great to know

All I can tell you is my experience from within the past couple of weeks.

I checked in to POFQ on 2/6. Very nice young lady at the desk, but she was "Earning her Ears," FWIW. She told me I would need to go to a Guest Relations window to activate my Memory Maker and my Park Ticket, both purchased online through Disney with the "will call" option.

I was going to Epcot that afternoon anyway, so went to Guest Relations outside the gates. Nice gentleman CM took care of me, activated both things on my band and gave me a Memory Maker card (like the old Photopass card) as well. He seemed a little surprised that they couldn't do it at the resort. But it does appear that you do have to activate something.

I would advise to ask at your resort when you check in (you may have to go to the concierge desk; that's what I've had to do in the past to link tix to a KTTW).

I just ordered mine today, and selected the standard mail option. I hope to link it to MDE and not have to stop by guest relations. My trip isn't till the end of May, so I have plenty of time to figure it out.

everything ive read is that if it is on your reservation when you check it they add it to your MB, along with your park tickets, reservations, charging card if you choose and room key..

I haven't heard of the will call thing so I don't know how it works, but I know we have 6 days park hoppers, ADR's for every day and memory maker, and was assured all of that plus the room key and a charging card can and will be added to our MB's.

Hope it helps!

I was confused by that as well, because I didn't think they mailed you anything. I chose will call, and I also linked my confirmation number to my MDE account. Now it says I'm all ready to go and start taking picutres. It didn't say anything about having to activate the MM anywhere. I'll have to double check now.
