But while still photos provide a nice way to remember your vacation, many visitors love to have video of their trip, as well. Now, in the latest addition to the MyMagic+ system, Disney's adding a customized video benefit to the Memory Maker package — an on-ride snippet of subscribing visitors on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Here's Disney promo video for the new feature:
The video automatically will upload to your MDE account, if you've bought Memory Maker and you're wearing your associated MagicBand while you ride. Any linked "Family & Friends" and "Managed Guests" on your MDE account will also be able to view and share the video, too.
Have you bought Memory Maker? If so, what did you think of it? If you haven't bought it before, would adding video like this help convince you to get it?

For me, it's just not worth the cost.

Yes, I loved it, but I felt there were two negatives.
On occasion, I lost photos. Some surly photographers or photo clerks would insist that some in my party are linked together when that isn't the case at all times. I would lose photos as a result. One time, a guy said the other person in my ride photo was my wife and she already gotten the photo. I was speechless. I asked him to put it on my MagicBand anyways and he reluctantly did it. (Dumb-ass)
The problem is MagicMaker says only one person is the designated user and when there are other persons linked with your account, it is hard to know if the photo transferred to your account if the photographer insists on swiping the non-designated user. This is a known bug.
Certainly adding video is a good idea. The one place where I thought so was Epcot's Spaceship Earth. The ride video featured your photo. I thought when I entered my email address at the end of the video, I would get the version that I saw in the ride. No, I just got a standard video. Some good video moments are the Test Track race, meeting a princess, and the safari ride.
