Save Money on a MemoryMaker

When you’re traveling to see the mouse, it’s always nice to save a few bucks. Walt Disney World has a perk for prepared guests—all you have to do is purchase and activate your MemoryMaker more than 3 days before you use it the first time.

As of today (April 2026), a full-priced MemoryMaker is $210.

The purchase price changes according to when the photo service is purchased and activated. Activation refers to adding your activation code to your Disney account.

If this is your first time activating a MemoryMaker, once you scan your park pass or MagicBand to claim your photos, your MemoryMaker is considered activated. If this isn’t the first time you bought a PhotoPass, your photos will be added to your photo album when your first PhotoPass photo is taken or scanned. Easy Peasy!
