Hey there, Isabel!
I am so happy to hear that you are coming back for another magical vacation at Walt Disney World Resort!
Isabel, I will be honest with you, I love my
MagicBands. Mostly I love the convenience of not having to pull out my wallet for every little thing. I have my hands full with my little ones, so anything that lets me not worry about keeping track of everyone's admission cards is a win in my book! But I also love that I get to pick a new MagicBand for each of our trips. My little ones get so excited each time they get a new one with their favorite characters, and honestly so do I!
Isabel, since you are not staying in the Disney Resorts Collection, you will not be able to charge purchases to your MagicBand, so that takes away a little of the convenience factor.
What I think may be a great option for you is the all-new
Disney MagicMobile Service! Available through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App, MagicMobile allows you to add your theme park ticket to your phone, which you can then use to scan into the theme parks and to get all of your PhotoPass photos!
Oh! One last thing that I almost forgot. If you have a MagicBand from a previous stay, you will still be able to use it on your upcoming vacation.
I hope that this helped, Isabel!
We will see you real soon!
Sarah B.
