Hey there Sherri! Welcome back to planDisney! I'm here to help you master the magic of Disney technology.
Good News! I confirmed with a few other Panelists that
Disney's MagicMobile service on Apple Watches can be used in place of MagicBands, as long as they meet the
minimum device requirements. I've used a MagicMobile pass on my iPhone to enter the Theme Parks, and it is an extremely convenient option. And if you enable Express Mode, you don't even have to unlock your phone! It really is a lot like magic!
You can create a Disney MagicMobile pass in the
My Disney Experience app in a few simple steps. Open the My Disney Experience app, Click the three lines in the bottom right of the Home Screen, select Disney MagicMobile, follow the prompts, and save the pass to your Apple wallet.
With MagicMobile, you can currently enter the Theme Parks, tap into Lightning Lane entrances, connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account, and charge food and merchandise purchases to your hotel room folio. New features are rolling out periodically, so I would check the My Disney Experience app closer to your arrival date to be sure you know what all MagicMobile can do for you!
I hope this helps, Sherri! If you have any more questions while planning your trip, stop back by and
ask me. Soon you'll be immersed in the magic of Walt Disney World!
Until next time,
PG
