Disney’s Memory Maker is an all-inclusive photo package that gives you unlimited digital downloads from Disney PhotoPass photographers and on-ride cameras. It’s the easiest way to capture your entire Disney World vacation without worrying about taking photos yourself.
When you purchase Memory Maker at least 3 days before your trip, you save $30 compared to the in-park price. Once activated, you can download every PhotoPass image from your trip for up to 45 days after they’re taken.
How Memory Maker Works
After purchasing, link Memory Maker to your MagicBand or MagicBand+ for instant, hands-free photo linking. With the RFID technology in the band, your pictures automatically appear in your account—even ride photos and videos. If you don’t link it, you’ll need to scan a PhotoPass card after every photo or attraction.
To make the most of your purchase, stop for photos often! The more you use it, the better the value.
Character Meet & Greets: Don’t Skip Them
Character photos are some of the most magical memories you can bring home. Use Memory Maker at:
- Princess meet & greets
- Star Wars characters
- Mickey & friends
- Holiday or seasonal characters
These photos make perfect holiday cards, postcards, or family keepsakes. Many families return year after year to take a photo with the same character—an adorable tradition as kids grow.
Unique Photo Opportunities
Not a fan of the classic Cinderella Castle shot? Disney World is full of creative backdrops!
Try photo spots near:
- Space Mountain
- Tower of Terror
- Expedition Everest
- Tree of Life
- Galaxy’s Edge landmarks
- Pandora floating mountains
And don’t forget to have fun with ride photos—plan a funny pose, fake boredom, pretend to nap, or coordinate matching expressions with your group.
Also, visit popular PhotoPass locations at different times of day. For example, Main Street photos look completely different at sunrise, midday, sunset, and after dark.
Is Disney Memory Maker Worth It?
If you plan to stop for more than a handful of photos, Memory Maker can be a better value than buying individual PhotoPass downloads. Since you receive unlimited photos, ride videos, magic shots, and photographer edits, families often find it’s well worth the cost.
Whether it’s your child hugging Mickey for the first time or your group screaming on Guardians of the Galaxy, Memory Maker ensures you’ll take home memories that last a lifetime.
