It’s no secret that Walt Disney World vacations are expensive. From tickets and accommodations to travel and dining expenses, it can be tempting to try to save as much as possible to make the whole experience more cost-effective. However, some perks might be worth the splurge. 

There’s booking at a Deluxe Resort to take advantage of Extended Evening Hours, where on select nights each week, one of the parks stays open two hours past park close, or staying at a Value Resort like Art of Animation Resort or Pop Century Resort, the difference between a standard and preferred room is around a $25 up-charge, depending on the time of year. Then there’s the $185 Memory Maker package, a dream addition for those who want a large collection of professional photos documenting their trip, with a dash of Disney magic and pixie dust thrown in. 

During your vacation to Disney World, you will make so many memories that you will want to last a lifetime. One of the best ways to remember all the fun you had on your trip is by taking pictures! Disney offers a package for you and your entire party to get all the pictures that you take with PhotoPass photographers across the resort, and it only costs $185!

Now, we are not saying $185 is nothing; every penny counts when budgeting for a trip to Disney World, but you can purchase Memory Maker, which is Disney’s all-inclusive photo package that lets you download all of the photos and videos taken of you and your family and friends during your vacation.

There are three Memory Maker options. The first is for $185, which is the one we recommend. This package must be purchased at least three days prior to your trip. It includes all PhotoPass photos and videos within 30 days of your selected date.

If you forget to purchase Memory Maker in advance, no worries! It can still be purchased at the resort for $210, but buying it in advance will save you $25.

If you are not visiting Disney World for a longer trip, there is also a Memory Maker One Day option for $75. This version allows you to download all the photos and videos on one selected day of your trip.

Memory Maker includes locations across all four theme parks, photos from over 40 character meet and greets, 15 attraction photo opportunities, and over 100 Disney Magic Shots, including photo effects, 360-degree capture cameras, and cameras at a bird’s-eye view! Plus, anyone linked to your family and friends list on your My Disney Experience app is able to take photos, up to 25 people, even though Memory Maker only needs to be purchased by one member of your party! 

Once your vacation is over, you have 45 days to download all of your photos, giving you plenty of time! 

Now, we do need to note one thing about Memory Maker: If you’re only interest is in on-ride photos, Memory Maker may not be necessary for you. Why? On-ride photos are included with the purchase of a Lightning Lane Multi Pass. 

Memory Maker is a great way to ensure you remember your trip with your friends and family, and it only costs $185 for unlimited photos! We really like having Memory Maker because it forces us to slow down and take photos with our loved ones. And we don’t have to worry about pulling out our phones or worry about having someone in the group take the photo, so group photos are actually of the entire group. This memory maker also includes magic shot photos, which really just adds to the fun! Remember this tip, and make sure to purchase Memory Maker at least three days in advance!
