Easy Guide to Memory Maker and PhotoPass at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World photo packages explained
Walt Disney World offers a myriad of photo products to help capture your memories while on vacation. In this guide, Iāll explain the difference between Disney Memory Maker and PhotoPass plus share the different options that are available such as Capture Your Moment sessions and Magic Shots.
What is the difference between PhotoPass and Memory Maker? Great question!
PhotoPass refers to all photo and video-related products and services offered throughout Walt Disney World.
Memory Maker is the product you purchase that allows you to download your photos and videos.
Walt Disney World PhotoPass
Youāll find Disney PhotoPass photographers throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. At select attractions and iconic park locations, Disneyās professional photographers are on hand to capture your unforgettable vacation moments with one-of-a-kind photo opportunities.
Minutes later, your pictures are ready to view in your galleryāonline or on the My Disney Experience app.
To enjoy the value and convenience of downloading all your vacation photos for one price, purchase Memory Maker.
Walt Disney World Memory Maker
Enjoy all the Disney PhotoPass photos and videos from your vacationāplus special extrasāfor one price.
How much is Memory Maker?
Currently, the advance purchase price is $185. You can purchase Memory Maker for $210 once you arrive at Walt Disney World.
If you would like to include Memory Maker as part of your vacation package, let me know so you can get the advance purchase price.
Memory Maker Tip: If youāre traveling with friends or family who have their own reservations, you can both share one Memory Maker account. Just link your Disney accounts together using the Family and Friends tool.
Memory Maker includes unique photos taken at iconic park locations (like in front of Cinderella Castle), Magic Shots and attraction photos.
Magic Shots ā A Disney World PhotoPass Exclusive
Tiny World Magic Shots - Take photos to a new dimension with this 360-degree capture experience. You can find this right in front of Spaceship Earth at Epcot.
Super Zoom Magic Shots - A burst of photos comes together as a dynamic video of you and your family in iconic locations. My favorite location is at Magic Kingdom - go to the end of Main Street USA, to the hub in front of the Castle. Turn right, heading towards Tomorrowland, and look for the photographer.
Classic & Animated Magic Shots - Enhance your photos with whimsical effects to create a magical memento.
Walt Disney World Capture your Moment Photo Sessions
This personalized 20-minute private photo session was so popular at Magic Kingdom Park and Disney's Animal Kingdom, that Capture Your Moment is now offered at EPCOT and Disneyās Hollywood Studios!
Disneyās Capture Your Moment is a great way to remember your:
Engagement
Honeymoon
Anniversary
Childās Birth or Adoption
Birthday
First Walt Disney World Visit
Family Reunion
Family Portraits
Graduation
And more!

Disney World Memory Maker One Day
Memory Maker One Day is available for $69 in the My Disney Experience mobile app once youāve linked at least one Disney PhotoPass photo to your account from the day to which you plan to apply the entitlement.
Youāll also find Memory Maker One Day at Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket windows and Disney PhotoPass Centers.
Trying to decide between Memory Maker and Memory Maker One Day?
Memory Maker is a good option if youāre visiting Walt Disney World Resort for three or more days. If youāll be visiting for one or two days (or only attending a special event such as Mickeyās Not-So-Scary Halloween Party), purchasing Memory Maker One Day for each day of your visit is the better option for you.
Memory Maker One Day costs $69 per day.
