Hi there, Michelle!
I’m delighted to welcome you to planDisney. Thanks for stopping by with your question for us.
Summertime is a magical time at Walt Disney World Resort. My family loves taking midday breaks from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks to cool down and relax at our Disney Resort hotel pool! We always feel that even when we leave the parks for a break, we never leave the magic because
Disney Resort hotels are full of legendary storytelling and magical theming!
Michelle, I’m happy to tell you there is a way to use your smartphone to enter the theme parks! To do this, you must link your
theme park tickets to your My Disney Experience Mobile App through the Disney MagicMobile service. By setting up your Disney MagicMobile pass, you can use the feature to enter theme parks as long as you have valid admission and a
theme park reservation. You can also use it to connect Disney PhotoPass photos to your account and gain access to virtual queue attractions when your boarding group is called!
To set up your
Disney MagicMobile pass, open your
My Disney Experience Mobile App, tap the three lines ≡ in the bottom right, and then select
Disney MagicMobile. Here, you can choose your Disney MagicMobile digital pass, then tap the plus sign in the upper right corner to add it to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay! Then, when you’re at the turnstiles of the parks, simply take out your phone, place it near the scanner, and allow it to work its magic!
Whether a Guest in your party would like to purchase a
Disney band while they’re at Walt Disney World Resort or before arriving through your Disney Resort hotel reservation, they can absolutely do so, while the other Guests in the party can use admission cards if they’d like. However, please do keep in mind that if you’re ordering the Disney band through your resort reservation, once you have placed your Guest’s Disney band order, it cannot be modified, and additional orders cannot be processed. Because of this, I like to double-check everyone’s choices of whether each Guest prefers to go with a Disney band, admission card, or Disney MagicMobile service before placing the Disney band order.
If your Guest chooses to purchase a Disney band upon arrival at the parks or at
Disney Springs, they would simply link the Disney band using the ID code on the back of the puck through their My Disney Experience Mobile App.
Wishing you an enchanting visit, Michelle!
Aena
