    Am I able to pay for food and drinks at the Food and Wine Festival with my MagicBand if I am not staying at a Disney resort? If so, am I able to add Disney Gift Cards to my Magic Band to pay for food and drinks at the F&WF?

    Hello Dawn and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

    MagicBands are wonderful little pieces of technology. While they can connect to many aspects of a Disney vacation (room entry, theme park tickets, special event tickets, dining plan entitlements, etc.) they cannot connect to a source of payment unless you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel.  Even when staying on-sight, gift cards can't be directly linked to a MagicBand.

    I would recommend picking up a Disney Gift Card at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. In the past, Guests were able to get clever Festival oriented gift cards that included a wrist band or lanyard. These additions make enjoying all of the fabulous flavors at the Festival easy.

    I hope this helps with your planning. If you have more questions, come on back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel- we love to help!

    See ya real soon,
