Hi there, Kryslyn!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question.
I'm excited to hear you're planning a fun group trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Walt Disney World Resort! With all there is to see and do on a Walt Disney World vacation, your group is sure to make memories to last a lifetime.
MagicBands, secure all-in-one devices that work hand-in-hand with your
My Disney Experience account, allow you to have loads of Disney magic right at your wrist during your vacation. With a quick tap on a touch point, you can use your MagicBand to unlock your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door, enter theme parks and water parks (with valid admission), connect
PhotoPass images to your account, and charge food and merchandise purchases to your Disney Resort hotel room.
Once a MagicBand has been linked to a particular Guest on a My Disney Experience account, it can be deactivated, but it can't be unlinked and linked to another Guest. If another Guest in your group would like to have a MagicBand to use, they will need to purchase one at
ShopDisney online, on the ShopDisney app, or at a merchandise location at Walt Disney World Resort.
In addition to MagicBands, Guests now have the opportunity to use Disney
MagicMobile service on their smart device. MagicMobile is a contactless option that works with the My Disney Experience app, and can be used just like a MagicBand for theme park entry.
I hope this helps with your planning. Please come back and visit us here at planDisney if you have more questions before your trip!
