Howdy Nathan!
Welcome to
planDisney! Oh boy! I am super excited to see that you will be visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort for the first time in just a few weeks! Get ready to “Make Memories to Last a Lifetime” at “The Most Magical Place on Earth!” Thank you for sharing this question with us, and I am so excited to help you!
I love to pick out a new
MagicBand for each of my visits to the Walt Disney World Resort! If you are staying at one of the Disney Resort Collection hotels, I highly recommend adding MagicBands for everyone in your party! If you are “Staying in the Magic” at a Disney Resort Collection hotel, then you will be able to use your MagicBand to enter your resort hotel room, make charges, scan into the theme parks, and so much more! MagicBands makes vacationing at the Walt Disney World Resort so fun and stress-free! Since your vacation is “Just Around the Riverbend,” you may choose to have your MagicBands shipped to your Disney Resort Collection hotel to ensure you have them upon arrival!
If you have not made your advanced dining reservations, then you still have time! I highly recommend making your dining reservations RIGHT NOW! You will need to utilize your
My Disney Experience mobile app! Once you have your, My Disney Experience mobile app opened, click on the plus symbol at the bottom of the page! You will see “Check Dining Availability” at the top of the pop-up list. After clicking on this option, you will choose your “Party Size” and date. Once you select your date, you will need to pick a dining time, and then you will be given all the availability for that time!
Since you are visiting as a party of six, I recommend adding
Memory Maker to your vacation! With Memory Maker, you will be able to capture an unlimited amount of pictures at one great price, and everyone can be in the photo! Your MagicBand will come in handy when you stop at each Disney PhotoPass Photographer! Before you enjoy your mini photo session, the Cast Member will scan your MagicBand, and all of your photos will be uploaded to your My Disney Experience for you to enjoy and cherish forever!
You are going to have a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious time! If you have any more questions, please come back to planDisney, or ask a Cast Member at Guest Relations during your visit! Have a blast, and make sure you wave hi to Mickey and all his pals!
See Ya Real Soon,
Tamela
