(or lead me to a thread that already covers this)

I just purchased MM on my WDW account, I purchased everything through WDW (room, tickets, Magic bands)

So, Is MM automatically linked to our MBands? Because I tried to link them (using the # on our bands, it wouldn't allow it, said this #already exists)

Secondly, I want to also link my DD and her husband (a different reservation and account) So they can use MM, even when they are not with us.
How do I do this?

thanks for any help :)
 
Thank you so much siskaren, those instructions were so helpful, just linked her (hopefully everything will work LOL)
 
I'm glad you asked that question since I was wondering that too! I linked my parents and did control by me (since they don't want their own MDE account). Now it shows memory maker listed at the bottom on my families but then when I click on my parents names (under friends) it doesn't show the memory maker number at the bottom like it does on mine. Did I do something wrong or is it only supposed to show on mine? No real problem - I can just make sure to always have my magic band scanned at picture time. But just in case they have theirs scanned will we get the picture? Thanks!
 

I would assume it's because you're the person in charge of the Memory Maker entitlement.
 
I think you're fine. My dad had his own MDE and bought the MM for our extended family to share. Only his page showed the MM number, but since we were all linked as family and friends, any magic band in our whole group worked to capture the photos

Your parents don't have the MM entitlement, which is why nothing shows up. If they are on your "Friends & Family" list in MDE, you will see any pictures that get tagged to their bands. Since you can see the pics you can do the edits, and then get them included on your MM order.

I was wondering the same thing, do I have to always scan my magic band when taking a picture or can my mom scan hers even though she does not have a MDE account?

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure their pictures get on ours!
 
A little more detail - the MM owner will be able to do the editing and download of all pictures (including everyone on your friends and family list) included in your prepaid price. I was a little confused on ours, because my sis-in-law who was on the trip, but not the MM owner, was making edits (adding borders and stickers) in her own MDE account; but when she wanted to download, the site prompted her to pay for each picture. Only the MM owner, through their own MDE login, can perform the download "free". If everyone wants to make their own edits, the owner will either have to do it for them or share the MDE login info.
