Welcome to planDisney, Ben!
Thank you for visiting us today with your very first question. I am happy to hear that you have made it safely to the Sunshine State and will soon stop by the Walt Disney World Resort to say hello to Mickey!
If you have already purchased
theme park tickets,
sign in to My Disney Experience to be sure they have been properly linked and assigned to you. You will then have to confirm that you have a
Disney Park Pass reservation for the date of your visit. To enter a park, both a park reservation and valid admission for the same park on the same date are required for Guests ages 3 and up. With valid admission linked to My Disney Experience and a Disney Parks Pass reservation, you are ready to go!
Did you know that you can use a
MagicBand to enter the theme parks and water parks? If valid tickets and a
MagicBand are linked to your Disney account, all you have to do is go straight to the parks without having to retrieve physical tickets. You can stop by retail locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort to buy a MagicBand before heading to the parks, including
World of Disney store at
Disney Springs, my favorite destination for pixie-dusted merchandise. Although you have mentioned that you do not have your wallet, if you have a digital wallet, you should be able to use it for payment instead of cash or a physical card. I am a big fan of using technology to travel lighter, that is why I often leave my wallet home and use Apple Pay, for example.
If you do not wish to purchase a MagicBand, you will have to pick up ticket cards at will call windows located at the entrance of all four theme parks – you are also welcome to stop by the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. Please note that in this case, you will have to present a government-issued photo ID and the voucher you received by e-mail after purchasing your tickets.
I hope this information is helpful, Ben. Remember to check the latest Walt Disney World Resort updates before your visit, and enjoy your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth.
