What are the differences between Memory Maker and Gold Annual Pass PhotoPass Downloads?

[followyerbliss]

If my annual pass (Disney Gold Pass) includes unlimited PhotoPass downloads is there any need to purchase the Memory Maker for an upcoming trip? I have never purchased Memory Maker before but, I was seriously considering it for this trip before the Annual pass changes and price increases. It sounds like a better deal because I could download photos from trips all year and not just for one month but, I am not sure I really understand how any of it works. Would someone please clarify this for me?

Anyone have any advice? Am I posting this question in the wrong place?

They are the same- you can find several threads on this in the Theme Parks &Attractions forum.
