Memory maker for dummies

[Laurichi]

Ok so it's about two weeks to go now (a bit more) and we are so excited!
There's like a million things i feel unsure about .... but one of them is Memory >Maker

I purchased it online... but I still don't really know how it works....
Once a CM takes my picture what do i have to do??

Thanks i'm sorry I'm so dumb about this!

They do not. I found out too late that bands purchased and activated in the parks will not work. They seem to scan jst fine with the photopass photographer then when I questioned the missing photos I was informed it was because the band was purchased and activated in the park at the time of purchase. They told me the next trip that band will work for memory maker but not the trip they were purchsed on. They also won't work for charging purchases.

Just to add another person's experience, my entire party purchased magic bands on our last trip and we had prepurchased Memory Maker before arriving at WDW. We had absolutely NO problem with our pictures showing up.

I purchased bands at the Disney Store and linked them to my acct., we are not going until April should they work fine? Also how long does it take for your pictures to show up for viewing?

They say it could take 24-48 hrs to show up, but often they are there minutes after being taken. The only time we experienced any delays is on the 'magic' shots.. those often took a couple hours to show up. I don't remember any taking longer than that. Just make sure everyone in your party has their account set to share photos with each other. (it's in your profile settings)
