Hi everyone! For our Aug trip this year, we're traveling with 3 other families. We don't plan on spending every waking moment together, just some meals for sure and parts of some days. My question is: If we split the Memory Maker how will that work? It can be attached to all our MBs, right? What about the ride/attraction/character/character meal photos? Another question. Can I still get a card from a photopass photograper and buy individual pictures? TIA
 
From what I understand, the Memory Maker is only attached to the Magic Bands of the people in the room that purchased the Memory Maker. I don't think it can be shared with parties in different rooms. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm assuming PhotoPass photographers will still have cards so offsite people without MB's will still be able to locate and purchase pictures.
 
If you and the other party is linked in MDE then yes you can share the memory maker.. They can be in a seperate reservatioN Or even be off property with no magic band.. If they don't have a mb then they can use the plastic card.. They will still nail you a plastic card
 
I know it can be shared. Last September I participated in a "share" and their were 10 groups involved. Whoever purchases needs to link the others to your Memory Maker. Hopefully someone will just in and help you with the logistics.

Only one person can manage it aka download images but if you share the sign on with the other party they can download as well

Awesome! Thank you all! I was pretty sure you could share, just not sure how it worked.
 
I think character meal photos are not included anymore but check the website

They don't offer printed photos anymore (apparently not enough people were buying them to make it worth it), but they are included with Memory Maker as a download.
 
You all need to be linked as family and friends in MDE and edit each others preferences so that it says "this person can view and purchase my photos".

All your pictures of all 4 families will be captured whether you are together at the time or not. This will include ride photos, the ride videos on 7 dwarfs and tower of terror, character meet&greets, posed shots with photopass photographers, and the posed shots before character meals (like Cinderella at CRT, Belle at Akershus, the mickey/plate statue at chef mickey, etc). The only thing you don't get are any pictures of the characters that come to your tables at character meals - there are no photographers with them, you use your own camera.

All parties with their own MDE account will be able to see the photos, but only the one person who bought Memory Maker can edit and download them. You can either share your login with the others so they can download for themselves, or you can do something like burn a CD for each family.

This is GREAT information! Thank you so much!!!!!
 
Definitely need to write all of this down so I'll have it when my parents go with us!!
I'm glad you posted your question, OP! We would have purchased them separately for nothing! :)
 
One other item included that I forgot: experiences like Jedi Training Academy, Enchanted Tales with Belle and Pirates League (I think that''s the right name) are audience participation and a photographer takes lots of pictures there, which is awesome!

A tip for these events: because there are many participants, the photographer will not scan your Magic band here, they will give you a photopass card with a code on it that you can type into MDE to upload your photos. BUT I highly recommend that you DON'T upload them yourself. Ifnstead, take that card to a Photopass store (near the front if each park if at Downtown Disney) and they can quickly help you select only your family members' photos from the event to upload. The card has pictures of all participants and it is very slow and cumbersome to have all the extra photos clogging up your Memory Maker page.
