That fits within the dates.
Great! Let me know when to pay. Thanks for setting this up!
OK, I bought the memory maker. There was no tax. So, it is $169. Here is everyone that was interested, in roughly chronological order. $169/6 is $28.17. I have a paypal account and also cashapp. I assume that is sufficient for everyone. I hope the @ will alert everyone. Maybe it is a # that does it? Send me a PM and how you prefer to pay, then Iāll send you back my info. In the meantime, Iāll be āinvitingā my real Disney Account to become a friend, and Iāll take screenshots just in case it is slightly different than that nifty document. The Dummy Account is my āauntā lives with me at the same address and is precisely one year older than me and has a different email. So, Disney shouldnāt be āhelpfullyā merging my dummy account with my real one. Looks like three of us will be there the first week in Feb.

I have no idea how to DM I do have PayPal tho.
I think I sent a DM.
Hello everyone, Iāve heard from everyone except @ocelot. Such a cool name. The guide document says 6 families are ideal. So, assuming no one changes their mind, we are there.
I sent everyone a message with how to paypal me, and what Iāll need to friend your account. Paypal seemed to be what everyone wanted. If that doesnāt work for someone tell me. That is how I ended up with the cashapp account. When someone says, āI want to pay you money, and I want to do it this way.ā You say āOK.ā Unless they are a Nigerian Prince.
I also think I sent a DM. Iām not completely sure, itās been a long day.
I feel you seems like everyday us like that lately.
Update:
Iāve successfully sent a friend request to two people, another person errored on me (see PM), one person I have the money but not the contact info, and the last I havenāt gotten the money, but I imagine that will be soon. So, everyone should have just recently got an email or PM from me.
If I sent you a friend request, I also sent an email to the same address with screenshots from when I connected my real account and my childās account. We will connect using āShared Plans Onlyā, so the only thing that the Leader account will see is the Memory Maker.
I also made the Leaderās Account Friends List Private. I think that will keep each other off our real Disney Accounts.
The next step will be to add the other people in your group. We are allowed to have 25 friends and family on the Leaderās Account. I have 3. So that leaves 22 to be split among the 5 other members. So, once we have a connection, send me the names of three other people in your group to add to the Memory Maker. We will probably have some spare slots later, but it seems fair to start with this. You will need to have your friends list not-private, at least until after the connections to them are made.
ETA: I donāt use that gmail email often, so if you send me something there, ping me here to go look.
ETA2: It seems to have errored when I made the list Private. And continues to error.
The Leader Account now has its friends list private.
It has been doing that to me, Error, Error, Error, Works.
Disney IT at its best.
I heard from one member that they only have two people. So, the remaining four members can have 5 each.
I have 3 people but I have not received a friends request.
I donāt know about you guys, but Iām glad to be getting this settled before I need to make any detailed plans. Also, that Covid banner is driving me bat-poo-crazy.
I am connected to all primary members of the share, and some of the secondary members. Yeah! For some reason it says I canāt add a friend using āFind through my connected Guestsā because it says that āThere are no connected Guests you may add at this time. Please select a different way to add your new Guest.ā I donāt know why that is. After I added real myself, I was able to add my husband and child that way. I will try again tomorrow.
But, just to make sure, if there is a secondary member to be added either send me their name and email and Iāll send a friend request to them. Or, ask me to send the Leaders info to you if I havenāt already.
IMPORTANT: Only the photos for people connected will be included in the MM share. Even if you manage their MDEās.
I need all my ducks in a row. Coming into my busy season at work.Plus I may have A OCD planing problem.
Iāve been looking into how shares are handled.
One way is like the document, where everyone is connected to the main account. After everyone is back, then the leader creates zip files for all the photos. Then people go in and download their photos. Then people have a few days to do any editing that they want on their photos. Then the leader creates another complete batch of zip files, and people download that batch.
Another way that I am leaning towards is that people are de-friended once they have all their photos. That should remove theirs. So, we should all have less photos to sift through. I asked for advice from the leader of the Oct/Nov/Dec shares, and weāll see if there are any problems. There are three of us the first week in Feb, but otherwise, we mostly have our own days.
I feel like the way we did it before was share the log in information for the dummy MDE account - and then everyone just logged in and downloaded their own photos.
What are the drawbacks to that approach?
Yes thatās how Iāve done it whenever I was part of a share. Never encountered a problem that way.
Sounds good. Share the login is how weāll do it.
Great. Thank you again for organizing!
Thanks guys. I want to do a good-job, so Iāll take advice from you more experienced people.
There are a few members and secondary members who need to make a change to the friend connection.
If your real life initials are C.C., A.C. or M.K.A. you need to do this:
Go to My Friends and Family and find Sophia. Click on the Update to the right. Then make it look like this:
That will make it where the leader account doesnāt see your reservations. I truly think that none of us would do anything on purpose, but something could be done on Accident.
Mine looks like that. But itās under friends I donāt share plans with? AC is the same way. Iām assuming Iām the CC my daughter is AC
