Welcome BACK to
planDisney, Nicole, and thanks for stopping by with another vacation question. December is the most wonderful time of year to visit
The Most Magical Place on Earth! With the theme parks and resorts all decked out in holiday lights and décor, you are sure to make memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.
As of January 1, 2021,
MagicBands are no longer provided on a complimentary basis for arrivals at
Disney Resort hotels. You do still have the option to purchase MagicBands in advance, at a discounted prearrival price on
My Disney Experience, but it is certainly not the only option available for the excellent features such as resort room entry, theme park entry and charging purchases to your resort room with a valid credit card on file. You can either link a MagicBand from a past visit or use a Key to the World card which is available at the Front Desk of your Disney Resort hotel.
In order to have
Disney PhotoPass photos linked to your My Disney Experience account where you can then view, purchase, and download, you can use either a MagicBand, admission card, Memory Maker card, or Disney PhotoPass card (available from any Disney photographer) to scan at the touch point located on the photo preview wall at select attractions.
I hope that this information helps you to continue the exciting planning process of your next
Walt Disney World vacation! Please remember that you’ve got a friend in us here at
planDisney, so stop back by any time we can help answer your vacation questions.
