Do I need to purchase Memory Maker ahead of time?

You must add Memory Maker to your package at least 3 days prior to your arrival to take advantage of this advanced purchase pricing. If you decide to purchase Memory Maker during your trip, the cost will be $199.



While you do not have to purchase it in advance, it is highly recommended because buying Memory Maker at least three days before your visit saves you $25. In 2026, the advance purchase price is $185, whereas the "standard" price (purchased during or after your vacation) is $210. It is important to note that if you buy the advance-purchase version, any photos taken within three days of the purchase date are not included in the package. Memory Maker provides unlimited digital downloads of all your Disney PhotoPass photos and videos, including those taken at iconic landmarks, select character meet-and-greets, and even on-ride action shots. For families planning to visit multiple parks over several days, the $25 savings and the convenience of having a professional photographer at every turn usually make the advance purchase the most logical financial decision.
