Hey Howdy Hey Elizabeth and welcome back to the new and improved planDisney!
One of the most convenient ways Disney has improved the vacation experience is with the introduction of MagicBands. So many things on your trip from access to your room, theme park tickets and charging privileges all from one place has been such a convenient upgrade. Now, I realize that not everyone likes to have a band on their wrist the whole time and looks like Disney is aware of that as well, so we do have some options for you!
One really convenient option you may be able to use is setting up
Disney MagicMobile Pass from your smart device. Setting this up will allow you to use your smart device just like your MagicBand. Once you log onto your
My Disney Experience app, click on the three horizontal lines on the bottom right. From that menu, you will see Disney Magic Mobile. Follow the prompts and you are all set. Charging capabilities right from your smart device!
The other possibility you have is if you are an Apple user and own an Apple watch. Through an Apple wallet, you will be able to upload your tickets and information to your smartwatch and have all access of a MagicBand from your Apple watch. As an avid Android user, I will forewarn you that this option currently works exclusively on Apple smartwatches only, but hopefully soon to change.
I hope these options work out for you on your next trip to Walt Disney World. We cannot wait to welcome you to the Most Magical Place on Earth soon!
Happy planning,
Nick
