    How do you enter the parks since you do not receive actual cards or magic bands any more? We have one person in our group who has not been there before, the rest of us have bands if they still work. I do not want to but any more bands.

    Welcome to planDisney, Lydia! I'm so happy to know you will be visiting the Walt Disney World with a group of family and friends. Thanks for sending us your planning question. 

    There's a great option for guests to enter theme parks with a digital ticket, and it only involves using your smartphone. The Disney MagicMobile service allows you to hold your device up to an access point at the park entrance to serve as your ticket.

    You can set up your pass in a few easy steps. First, tap the “☰” icon on your My Disney Experience App. Scroll to “Set Up MagicMobile Entry” and select “Set Up Your Pass.” You may then add the pass to your digital wallet. All done!

    If your group is staying at a Disney hotel you may request a complimentary Key to the World Card at the front desk to enter the theme parks and your Disney hotel room as well. 

    Lydia, I hope I've been helpful. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always our pleasure to help you with all the details of your next vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort!
