Hi Lynn!
I think that it's wonderful that you will be visiting from Australia! You are going to have a great time! This is a great question! As you may know, Memory Maker was just launched recently and has been a hit! You do not need to be staying at a Disney Resort to purchase or use Memory Maker. You will have to get an account with
My Disney Experience in order to use Memory Maker. Memory Maker is totally digital. When you visit the parks, any pictures taken will be added to your MagicBand, Memory Maker card, park admission card or Disney PhotoPass Card. You can view these photos online on your account at My Disney Experience. Memory Maker places your photos online where you can enhance your photos, add borders and even share with your friends! For an additional cost, you can purchase the CD of photos taken. For more information on how to use Memory Maker, please visit this page:
Memory Maker FAQ.
It has been a pleasure assisting you and we hope to hear again from you soon! If I can assist with any other questions, please feel free to send them my way!
Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Yael
