No, Memory Maker does not come included with the purchase of Lightning Lane Multi Pass (the 2026 successor to Genie Plus) at Walt Disney World. While the Lightning Lane Multi Pass provides digital downloads of select "on-ride" attraction photos taken during your visit, it does not include the hundreds of photos taken by professional PhotoPass photographers throughout the parks. To get unlimited digital downloads of all your vacation photos—including character meet-and-greets, "Magic Shots," and iconic castle portraits—you must purchase Memory Maker as a separate add-on. However, certain international ticket packages, such as the Disney Magic Ticket exclusive to the UK and Ireland, often bundle Memory Maker for free. For most US-based guests, budgeting for both services is necessary if you want the combined benefit of shorter wait times and a complete professional digital photo library of your trip.
