What is Memory Maker?
Memory Maker is a service that Disney offers to guests in all 4 parks that allows you to forget about the cameras while they capture your moments for you!

Are there any tours that you recommend?
Disney offers all kinds of tours to guests, both backstage and onstage. They give an awesome perspective into how one of the most beloved companies in world wows and inspires guests year after year! You can read all about each of the tours offered at this link! Specifically, some of the most beloved tours by guests are the “Backstage Magic” tour and the “Keys to the Kingdom” tour. Both offer unique and unforgettable experiences that are sure to amaze!
I love Disney Merchandise, but don't want to lug it around during my visit to the parks! Do I have other options?
You are in luck! Disney offers a mobile app called “Shop Disney Parks” that allows you to scan and purchase merchandise right from your phone and have it delivered directly to your house, or, if you have a Disney resort reservation, you can have it delivered to that resort!
The app also allows you to see where else on property that product is being sold which can also be super helpful.
You’re welcome dads…no more lugging around your kid’s 4 foot tall Olaf ;).

How do I create a My Disney Experience account?
Commonly referred to as “MDX”, your My Disney Experience account is where all of your vacation information lives during your stay here. It is your “key to the kingdom”. You will book your fastpasses, store payment options, and sync your MagicBands all from your MDX account. The best way to get familiar with the features and functionality is just by using it, so go ahead and poke around!
You can create an MDX account and manage it either online or through the mobile app. You can visit the website here, or download the mobile app here.
