Hi Matthew!
It sounds like you've done a fantastic job planning a magical trip to Walt Disney World Resort for you and your girlfriend and you're almost all set to enjoy an incredible vacation! Your trip is just around the corner and you are going to have an amazing visit enjoying springtime at the "Most Magical Place on Earth." I hope you are planning on visiting the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival during your trip because it's the perfect way to enjoy the season with all five senses!
Your
MagicBand will be an awesome addition to your vacation because it will give you access to your vacation entitlements with just the touch of your MagicBand. MagicBands linked to a Guest's My Disney Experience account will give them access to their own entitlements, including their
theme park tickets,
Lightning Lane reservations, and
Disney PhotoPass account. MagicBands won't let you access the entitlements of the members of your
Friends & Family List, even if you manage their plans. So, unfortunately, you won't be able to use your MagicBand to access your girlfriend's theme park tickets and Lightning Lane Reservations.
Your girlfriend has a few
options to access her tickets during your trip. She can purchase a MagicBand of her own, either before your trip or once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort, that can be linked to her in My Disney Experience. Or, you can use the
Disney MagicMobile Service, which will allow her to access her tickets and Lightning Lane reservations using her iPhone, Apple Watch, or Google Pay enabled Android phone. Finally, you can stop at
Guest Relations to pick up a ticket card that she can use to access her entitlements at the entrances to theme parks and Lightning Lanes. I've used all three of these options and all of them have worked well for my family to enjoy our vacations!
Matthew, be sure to follow the
Disney Parks Blog as you count down the final sleeps until your vacation so you can get the latest news about all of the magic you can enjoy during your visit. Also, feel free to come back to see us as your trip approaches if we can help you with additional questions. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
