Storage Policy and Photo Availability

• Disney PhotoPass photos linked to a Disney account are usually available online within 24 hours after the photos were taken. Guests must claim photos before they expire. All PhotoPass photos and other digital content (including as applicable, such content captured during a Memory Maker Window [as defined below]), as available, will expire pursuant to the Expiration Policy. We do not offer options for permanent storing of photos or other digital content. Expired photos and other digital content will no longer be available.

Not all Disney PhotoPass photos are available for use in Third-Party Products, and Disney reserves the right to refuse to provide any photos to any third-party companies in our sole discretion. Once certain Disney PhotoPass photos are provided to a third-party company, those photos will be subject to the availability, storage, expiration, privacy and other policies and terms governing that third-party company’s products, services and site or platform. Neither Disney nor any of its affiliates shall be responsible or liable for such third-party company’s products, services, site/platform or actions.

Availability and Delivery

• With respect to products offered directly by Disney (collectively, “Disney PhotoPass Products”), receipt of your order does not guarantee that we can supply the selected products to you. All Disney PhotoPass Products are subject to availability and we must therefore reserve the right: to limit quantities of products we supply; to supply only part of an order or to divide up orders; and to alter the availability and duration of, and to terminate at any time, any special offers. We will not charge your credit card unless, or to the extent, we are able to deliver the Disney PhotoPass Products to you as ordered.
• We will use all reasonable means to ensure your purchases of Disney PhotoPass Products are delivered promptly but we cannot guarantee that there will be no delays in delivery, and accept no liability or responsibility for delayed delivery of products.
• Availability and delivery of Third-Party Products will be subject to the policies governing that third-party company’s products and services.

Prices and Payment

• Please note that the prices of Disney PhotoPass Products offered on the Walt Disney World Resort site and My Disney Experience app do not include sales tax, if any, and shipping costs which vary depending on delivery option and location. Prices are subject to change at any time prior to acceptance of your order and in case of a change we shall notify you and ask whether you still wish to proceed. Payment for products shall be made by credit card.
• International Customs Policy: Prices for Disney PhotoPass Products do not include duties or value-added taxes. If assessed, these charges are the responsibility of the package recipient, who will be billed for them by the local Customs office. Please keep this in mind if you are shipping your order to a recipient outside the U.S.

• If you are not satisfied with the quality of any physical Disney PhotoPass Product you purchase, you may return it within 14 days of purchase and we will either reprint the product at no cost to you or refund the original purchase price.
• Because the Disney PhotoPass Archive Disc and Disney PhotoPass Archive USB are personalized products, we will refund or reproduce your product only if it is lost or damaged in shipping.

In addition to the general Terms and Conditions above, the following terms are applicable if you have purchased Memory Maker.

Memory Maker is non-refundable (except if purchased as part of a Disney Resort Hotel package) and non-transferable. When purchased as part of a Disney Resort Hotel package, Memory Maker is subject to the cancellation and refund policies of the Disney Resort Hotel package.

A MagicBand, or an eligible mobile device with Bluetooth® technology enabled for the My Disney Experience app, may be required to receive certain attraction photos and other digital content. MagicBands are not included with Memory Maker but may be purchased separately.

With the purchase of Memory Maker you will be able to download or unlock photos and other digital content associated with your Disney account that were taken at Walt Disney World Resort by Disney PhotoPass photographers, as well as photos and other digital content taken on select attractions and at select dining locations while your Memory Maker is active (the “Memory Maker Window”). You will also receive a limited license for personal, non-commercial use of the downloaded or unlocked photos and other digital content.

If you have purchased Memory Maker One Day, the Memory Maker Window begins at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time on (i) the day you use the one-day theme park admission with which Memory Maker is bundled at purchase or (ii) if Memory Maker was purchased separately, the date of the photo selected on the My Disney Experience app or, if applicable, on the Walt Disney World Resort site when purchasing Memory Maker or when linking a previously purchased Memory Maker code to your Disney account, and ends at 5:59 AM Eastern Time on the following day.

If you have purchased standard (30 days) Memory Maker at the advance purchase price you must wait at least three (3) days after the date Memory Maker was purchased before your Memory Maker Window can begin. After that time, your Memory Maker Window begins at 12:00 AM Eastern Time on the date you first download or unlock any Disney PhotoPass photo or other digital content on the Walt Disney World Resort site or the My Disney Experience app, and ends on the 30th day following such download or unlock date at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. When purchased at the advance purchase price, unexpired photos and other digital content that are in your Disney account prior to the start of your Memory Maker Window are not included in your Memory Maker purchase.

If you have purchased standard (30 days) Memory Maker at the regular price, you do not have a waiting period before your Memory Maker Window can begin. When purchased at the regular price, the Memory Maker Window begins at 12:00 AM Eastern Time on the date you first download or unlock any Disney PhotoPass photos or other digital content on the Walt Disney World Resort site or the My Disney Experience app, and ends on the 30th day after such unlock or download date at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

Except as otherwise provided for standard Memory Maker purchased at the regular price, all other photos or other digital content captured outside of your Memory Maker Window must be purchased separately. Certain digital content may not be available for purchase on an individual-item basis.

Violations may result in removal of all images associated with the Memory Maker Guest’s account and termination of the Memory Maker Guest’s Disney account. We reserve the right in our sole discretion, including based on usage patterns, to conclude that a Memory Maker Guest is in violation of these Terms & Conditions. Photo sharing benefits are subject to change without notice.

Guests who purchase Memory Maker as part of a Disney Resort Hotel package or as an add-on to a Disney Resort hotel reservation must link their Magic Your Way vacation package reservation or Disney Resort hotel reservation to their Disney account. Upon linking their reservation, Memory Maker will automatically be linked to the reservation’s primary guest’s Disney account. Guests who purchase Memory Maker in any other manner must link their Memory Maker Card number or confirmation number to their Disney account in order to use Memory Maker.

Your Memory Maker Card is a RF Device as defined in the “Radio Frequency Cards and MagicBands” section of the MyMagic+ Terms and Conditions.

Please keep all RF Devices safe and secure.
