Hiya Maggie! Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by.
While MagicBands are a great accessory to have for your Walt Disney World stay, they are not required during your visit. You will have a few other options available during your trip that will be just as convenient.
Disney MagicMobile service allows you to use your mobile device for entry into the parks each day. To set it up, you'll need to download the My Disney Experience App to your device and log into your My Disney Experience account. You'll first need to ensure that your park tickets are linked to your account. Tap on the three horizontal bars on the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Tickets and Passes." If your tickets are not shown, tap on "Link Tickets and Passes" and type in the ID number that you received by email when you made your purchase. The next step is to select "Disney MagicMobile" followed by the Guests in your party that you want to create a Disney MagicMobile Pass. There are several fun designs to choose from for each Guest. You'll then tap on "Add to Wallet" to have easy access to your pass throughout your stay. When it comes time to enter a park, you open your digital wallet and scan your pass for entry.
Your other option is to stop by the
Guest Relations booth at the front of any of the four theme parks. A friendly Cast Member can provide each Guest with an admission card to use throughout your trip. You'll scan these at the front of the park and use them for entry into Lightning Lanes if you decide to purchase Disney Genie+.
Maggie, I hope this information helps you plan for your upcoming stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney with any additional planning questions.
See ya real soon!
