Yes, purchasing Memory Maker in advance provides a significant discount of $25. In 2026, the "Advance Purchase" price for the full vacation duration is $185, whereas the "Standard" price (if purchased during or after your trip) is $210. To qualify for the discounted rate, you must purchase the package at least three days before you intend to use it.

Memory Maker allows you to download all digital photos and videos taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers at iconic landmarks, character meet-and-greets, and on over 15 major attractions across all four theme parks. For families wanting professional-quality vacation photos without the hassle of carrying a camera, the $25 savings makes the advance purchase a highly recommended pre-trip task.
