Hi Donna!
You are going to have a fantastic visit to Walt Disney World Resort with your daughter! One of my favorite memories is taking a trip to visit Walt Disney World Resort with my mom right after I graduated high school. We had so much fun playing in the theme parks and making memories together. Be sure to consider adding
Memory Maker to your vacation so you can capture and save all of the magical moments you have during your visit!
MagicBands are an awesome addition to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation and you can definitely still use them even though you won't be staying at one of the Disney Resort hotels. As a day Guest to Walt Disney World Resort, your MagicBands will give you access to your
theme park tickets,
FastPass+ reservations and Memory Maker account with just the tap of your MagicBand. Plus, attraction photos and exclusive attraction videos will be automatically added to your account when you wear your MagicBand while riding select attractions!
You can
purchase MagicBands online in advance of your trip or you can purchase MagicBands from many of the merchandise shops at Walt Disney World Resort during your visit. Once you receive your MagicBands, you will need to link them to your
My Disney Experience account so they will have access to your tickets and reservations. Be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app because I think it's the easiest way to link your MagicBands and manage all of your reservations during your trip!
Let us know if you have additional questions as you continue planning. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
