I purchased the memory maker, but my question is: is it really worth it? from what I other people have told me, the cast members routinely take photos with someone's camera or phone if they asked.
My list goes as follows. . .
- the more people in your party, the better (especially if you'll be splitting up at all)

We are doing a 5-family trip in June. All families are linked back to me on MDE. If I purchase MM, will everyone be able to use it? I'd like to split the cost 5 ways, but also think it will be great since we will split up at times.
Yes, everyone will be able to use it, get pictures even when separated, and see the pictures on their own MDE, BUT as @siskaren said, only the oner person who purchased it can actually do the edits and download (i just got together with them after our trip and let them edit, then made CDs for each family)We are doing a 5-family trip in June.

They will take one, maybe two pictures with your own equipment. If they are bad photos, too bad. They take a lot more with their cameras. Even if they aren't professional photographers, the odds are in your favor.
Not really. If there is a line they take a standard shot and then a close up. Maybe 3 pictures at most. The only time they take "a lot more" is when there is no line and they are bored. CMs with props will take a few extra shots, but they will do this with your camera or Mickey's. They get paid by the hour, so it makes no different to them. If a CM has a camera on a tripod, they are very limited as they are required to keep the camera on the stand. That is a good portion of PPPs.

Must be luck of the draw. That has not been my experience. I think the fewest shots I've ever gotten with one photographer is 4, usually more. I seem to get 2-3 shots each of 2-4 poses, regardless of lines. I think about half the time I may actually ask them to take lots or mention the we have MM to encourage it. For sure, during character meets I get at least a dozen unposed and 5+ posed.
