The more natural way to say this is "These mememories will last a lifetime."

And by an amazing coincidence, there was a commercial for Disney World airing just now, and at the exact same moment I wrote those words, it said "memories that will last a lifetime."

Memories will last for a lifetime. Is this the only sentence we can use? Are there no any other alternatives? Please advice me what are the mistakes in the following sentences.

Again, the natural one is "last a lifetime."
If you really want to use your "remain," then "these memories will remain with you for a lifetime" or "... will remain with you throughout your life."

Not:
- for lifetime
- lifetime
- for life long
- life long
