PhotoPass vs Memory Maker
Another post had me posit this question:
Without showing my age or lack of tech-savvy ness too much, can somebody explain what is Memory Maker and why it needs to be paid for? I thought PhotoPass was free. Is this something else? Is it something worth paying for? What is the difference between the two?

With Memory Maker you can download all of your pictures and print them yourself for very cheap. It also includes any ride photos and photos from Character Meals. Just the ride photos and Character meals made it so worth it for us the last time we purchased it. If you just do the regular PhotoPass you have to pay for each print individually.

(I think I'm going to write a sticky on this ... Disney has made this quite confusing!)
PhotoPass is the "service" where Disney photographers will take your picture. You can scan your Magic Band, or a photopass card, both of which will allow you to view & edit your photos.
Memory Maker is a product that allows you (for one price, $169 in advance or $199 regular price) to download all of your photos, edited photos, ride photos and videos. You can then share and print the pictures as you'd like.
If you only want a picture or two, you can choose to order them individually, for about $20/print.
Is it worth it? We always get Memory Maker (and the old version, PhotoPass Plus). We like the ride photos, we like being able to add the Disney borders and touches, and we like having all of us in the picture. It is pricey, so for many people using their own camera (and Disney photographers will take a picture with your camera as well) is perfectly fine ... and cheaper.

We have two parties going at the same time (although I'm paying for both). How do you link the two in Memory Maker?

If you have them as your Family and Friends in My Disney Experience, meaning that you have your Fast Passes and ADRs together and visible in MDE, then it will be linked to the entire group.
We did this in January. My family (five) and my sister's family (six) went together. Our five had APs, but her's had to buy Magic My Way passes. We had all FPs together, and I could manage all of that from MDE. We bought the Memory Maker, and any time anyone in the party rode a ride, it added those photos to the website. And it was synced to everyone's MagicBand, so whenever we would stop and have a Disney photographer take a photo, the kids would take turns having their MagicBands scanned. They loved that.

Very cool!

With the Memory Maker, we ended up with a lot of ride photos (including a few of other people ) It was great to not even have to stop and look at the displays to decide if we liked them or not.

How does Memory Maker work on ride photos? That is what do you have to do for your photo to be added to the Memory maker account? Scan something?

As long as you're wearing your Magic Band, the ride photos for everyone linked to your party will show up in your Memory Maker account. No need to scan anything or stop at the photo booth at the end of the ride.

It should all be connected through your My Disney Experience account.

Probably not. When you log into your MDE account, you should see it as part of your reservations. If you don't, then you can link it, but it should appear automatically.

We would never do the old photopass plus, It was just not worth it, but with digital photos, We did the Memory Maker on our last trip and it was great!. Every photographer takes 5 or 6 shots (at least) so over the course of 6 days, we had well over 300 photos, plus the ride videos that they take on ToT and 7DMT
re: ride photos. Some of the photos from one the rides were not us (and those people were ugly ) It took a very nice phone call to WDW for a cast member to find us in the system.
re: ride photos: in a little creepy story, one time my wife and i walked onto a ride, with no magic band nor fast pass, and our picture from the ride showed up in our account! They're watching you...always watching!!

Was the MagicBand still in your or your wife's possession, perhaps in a purse or bag?

7 Dwarves Mine Train & ToT have the videos.
The following rides have photos: Buzz Lightyear, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Test Track, Rock ‘n Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Dinosaur, Expedition Everest.
Although it seems to be changing, as far as I know, the following meals have photographers outside (and you'll get the digital copy on your Memory Maker): ◾1900 Park Fare, 'Ohana (breakfast), Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, Chef Mickey's, CRT, Tusker House (breakfast - just a photo, Donald meets inside now), Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue, Akershus (with Belle).

We tried for 2 days to order this and now we can't get the discounted price. Guess we won't bother.

What was the problem - website? Perhaps if you call customer service they could help you in ordering & maybe adjusting the price.

I could only find the page to upload pics. When I found the order page it was still discounted, but we wouldn't get all our pics. Sis was using a calling card and the minutes were up. Oh well should have tried sooner.
