Hello Joy!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for visiting us with your fun question today. Can I say something crazy? What you are describing is one of my absolute favorite things about a Walt Disney World vacation! Being able to leave my Disney resort in the morning with nothing more than my
MagicBand is such a carefree and magical experience.
When you have your reservations all linked in the
My Disney Experience app, your MagicBand can serve as your theme park admission, hotel room key, payment method for food and merchandise, and even for claiming Lightning Lane passes. So if you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can do exactly what you have described with charging purchases on your MagicBand, Joy!
You will set up a personal PIN number to go along with your MagicBand, which you will be required to enter when making purchases. They can help you do this at your resort front desk, or you can do so yourself in the My Disney Experience app. To set your PIN in the app, from the home screen select the "≡" menu icon in the lower right, scroll down to Account - MagicBands & Cards, select a guest, and look for the PIN tab along the right.
Any purchases you make across the Walt Disney World resort with your MagicBand will be charged to your Disney Resort room account. If you'd like to swing by the front desk of your resort at the end of the day, a Cast Member would be happy to give you your balance and allow you to make a payment. I've done this before when I had Disney Gift Cards I wanted to use to help pay for some of our vacation charges.
One last tip before I go, Joy! Did you know that this year Disney Resort guests will receive
free admission to a Disney Water Park on arrival day? I hope you and your party can take advantage of this splashtastic offer.
Wishing upon a star that you have a wonderful Disney vacation! Please
visit me again at planDisney if I can sprinkle any pixie-dust on your trip with tips or recommendations. We love helping guests make magical memories!
See ya' real soon,
Tami
