Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Mary. We're just delighted to see you! How wonderful that you're planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort with your grandchildren. You're sure to have a GRAND adventure!
You and your grandchildren will love being
Guests of the Disney Resorts Collection. When you stay at a Disney Resort hotel, you're immersed in the magic of Disney storytelling, even after you've left the theme parks! Too, you get to enjoy unique perks like
Early Theme Park Entry and complimentary transportation throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. You ask an excellent question! Yes, you can certainly link a credit card to your older grandchildren's MagicBands and grant them charging privileges. We've done this for my oldest son too. He's 14 now and not always interested in what his 7-year old sister wants to do, so we've allowed him to explore the theme parks a bit independently on our most recent visits. Having a credit card linked to his MagicBand has given him the freedom to grab a snack or a souvenir while exploring on his own! When you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel, visit the Front Desk with your older grandchildren. A friendly Cast Member there will help you add charging privileges to their MagicBands!
Be sure to check out the Resort Activities schedule posted in the lobby of your Disney Resort hotel. There are lots of activities and offerings your grandchildren will enjoy! My family especially loves
Movies Under the Stars. It's a great way to wind down after pixie-dusted adventures in the theme parks!
I hope this was helpful, Mary. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
