I don't think it is a card anymore, is it? I think it's all linked to your Magic Band. All of your photos are uploaded to your Memory Maker site and you get on there and see all of your photos and edit them and you can print from there (to somewhere like CVS,
Walmart, Shutterfly, etc). The CM I talked to on the phone about it said that the photographer will scan your magic band and the photo is instantly updated in
MDE. You can get your picture taken in front of the castle and 5 minutes later use your phone to log into the MDE app and see your picture already.
If you are staying onsite and have magic bands, they will scan your MB.
If you are staying off site, you need to get a card from Will Call/guest services and that is what the photographers scan.
Either way, your MM account needs to get linked to your MDE account, which you can do online, over the phone with a CM or at Guest Services at the park. And all the people in your party need to be linked as well.
To view your pictures you can go to
https://mydisneyphotopass.disney.go.com/ or view them off of your MDE account.
If you have a card there is a spot on the website where it says "Claim photos" and you click that button. Then you type in the number on the back of the card and it loads all the pictures from the card to your account. You only have to do that once, because after the card number is loaded it will automatically load more pictures as they come in.
This works the same for the Enchanted Tales with Belle Photo card you will get. You go onto the site, hit claim photos, type in the number off the back of the belle card and the photos will come up (You will get ALL the photos from your enchanted Tale session, which means other kids and people too)
Once you get all your pictures off of the photopass website or off of the MDE website you can download them all onto your own computer and also make changes to them and download all the changed ones as well. I will eventually save them to a CD myself, that is after I print some from shutterfly and make a book and all that.
Pictures from the rides, from meals, etc can be added to your memory maker via the same card you use throughout or through your magic bands.
It really is a pretty simple system- scan the card or the band for all photo ops, get the pictures off the website, download onto your computer.
I brought my laptop down with me and I checked all the pictures each night.
Also the CMs who answer the phone with the memory maker phone number and the CM that work in the photo shop at the DHS are super helpful. They can answer any questions you have, can help link your accounts to your bands or cards, they can help you add people to the account and over all are great for answering questions. Oh, and if you find you are missing some pictures (we were missing photos from our Jake the Pirate M&G), just call them. The CM I spoke with found the pictures in about 3 minutes and uploaded them for me.
All in all, we loved Memory and Maker and found it was well worth it. In 3 days we had over 175 pictures. BUT we did lots of meet and greets and took advantage of looking for the park photographers around the park and really utilized it. We used it as kind of a scavenger hunt and made sure we got our picture taken whenever we could. So for us, it was worth it!
Good luck!
. First if all, do you think it's worth it? Also, are pictures taken at character meets also included? And finally, how does the prepaid photo pass cd work? TIA!
