Memory Maker

[snuggles0124]

I will be at Disney for 5 Nights, Going to Magic Kingdom & Animal Kingdom, Just wondering if Memory
Maker is worth it for two days. I Love to have the Ride On Pictures Just not Sure if the cost is worth it for 2 days.

Just my personal opinion: Don't do it. You could still go to the Photopass photographers and get pictures taken, then just buy the individual prints at ~$15 each. For the price of memory maker you could get 10 pictures total- 5 each day- and most likely you wouldn't need that many.

There is a one day option that is $59, I think. It won't show up until you have pics taken. But if you like them, you can buy it then. There's a thread all about MM and he has the details lined out. I'd link it, but I don't know how. It's one of the first few on this forum.

Here is a link to the Memory Maker forum and the first post explains what Graciegirl5 was talking about (i.e. the one day option for $59 that shows up after your trip)... https://www.disboards.com/threads/everything-about-photopass-and-memory-maker.3566699/

My family and I did MK 2 weeks ago. We did the memory maker and say it was worth it. I have 142 pictures to go through of the two days we were there. There are some great candid shots of my kids with the characters we met.

Have fun!

You can turn those into 6/700 easy with boarders and stuff.

Question is for most people, will you print or view them later??
For use, we ended up printing like two pictures from each trip. Our last trip we ended up with over 2500 pictures and printed one.
Is it worth it, prob not but it's fun to have. Ride photos are the best part imo

I think it is worth it for families with kids because we get so many cute photos of our kids, BUT if you are only using it for ride photos since there are limited rides that have photos it may not be worth it for those visitors. And some people are happy to hand over their camera, cell phone, etc. and get photos that way (I like the ones Disney takes because they seem to get candid ones right as my DD is going up to hug a character... her meeting Mickey for the first time is priceless to me and a shot I wouldn't have had if it wasn't for them; even if I had given my camera to the CM because he got the first few seconds...).

I turned mine into prints and I use them in a calendar I make every year. But your right if you just choose the few you are going to use (even for the calendar I don't use that many) then you might save money just downloading the ones you actually know you will use. The problem with digital photos these days is that, at least I, take tons of them and then only see a small fraction of them. But memory is cheap so I never really purge them...

We did MM for 3 days at the parks in December. The individual prints are so expensive and I knew I would want everything. If it's just ride photos you want, then I wouldn't do it. There aren't enough rides to make it worth it and half of my ride photos aren't even that great. But if you want some ride photos and are planning to do any character m&gs then it's worth it. Also pics in front of the castle or taken anywhere around the parks by photographers are included as well. It was the best way for us to have pictures of our whole family!

We always get the MM, but I'm not sure I would do it for 2 days. We make sure we stop everywhere for pics, but that's when we are there for a longer period of time. You might be wasting a lot of time waiting to end up with just a few good ones.

You're probably better off going a la carte.
