MM strategy?

[woodynjessiesmomma]

Last year I was able to use the same MM on our trip 9/18-9/26 and 10/16-10/21.
This year we are going 10/18-10/22 and I'm going back to WDW 12/3-5 before a cruise and possibly a day 12/10.
I can't find the specifics on the 30 days/45 days that I read last year. Could MM cover all my dates?
TIA!

It's 30 days, so that won't work.

Actually, that's not quite correct. You have 30 days to add more pictures from the day you download your first picture, not from when you take your first picture. You have 45 days from when a picture is taken to download it before it expires, so in the OP's case, a picture taken on 10/18 would not expire until 12/2 (although I wouldn't take the chance that the pictures wouldn't get deleted until the end of the day, and would instead do the download no later than 12/1.) As long as the OP doesn't start downloading before 11/10, they can include the pictures from their December trip on the same MM.

On the site it says you have 30 days to capture images from the day you activate Memory Maker. Isn't it activated when you take your first photo?

The 30-day window is for downloading. The photos expire after 45 days, regardless of whether you've downloaded them, so as long as you download each day before the photos expire, you can really stretch out the ability to add photos to your account.

All of this is for regular MM. If you have an AP that includes the free photo downloads, your photos are good for one year from when they're taken.

Thanks for clarifying, Missy.

Thanks! I was confused on what part was 30 days and what part was 45 day. I think this could work out!
