Hello and welcome to planDisney, Robert!
Thank you for visiting us today with an excellent question! It is a pleasure to assist you as you plan your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
MagicBands are fantastic all-in-one devices! They can be used to enter the theme parks and water parks (with valid admission) and link Disney PhotoPass digital content to My Disney Experience. Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can also use their MagicBands to charge food and merchandise purchases to their room account during their stay and open the door of their Guest room.
Please note that MagicBands are available for purchase. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can buy MagicBands at special pre-arrival prices by
signing in to your Disney account and visiting My MagicBands and Cards. If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can purchase a MagicBand from the comfort of your home before your visit at
shopDisney.com, or you can buy one upon arrival at several retail locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort.
planDisney tip: In addition to a MagicBand, you are also welcome to use the My Disney Experience app to create a
Disney MagicMobile pass and use your mobile device to enter the theme parks. You can also retrieve ticket cards at the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs or visit ticket windows located at the entrance of all four theme parks – be sure to bring the ticket confirmation number sent to your e-mail at the time of purchase, a government-issued photo ID, and the credit card used to complete the transaction, just in case. In addition, guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can stop by Front Desk to request a
Key to the World card.
I hope this helps you while planning, Robert! Please, do not hesitate to stop by once again if you have additional questions, we are delighted to help!
Best Disney wishes,
Thiana
