    If I'm coming to disney with a school group can I bring a old magic band to use

    Welcome to planDisney Krista! Thanks for reaching out with your great question. I'm excited to help you! How wonderful that you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World Resort! You’re sure to create some amazing memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Can you believe I've had my MagicBand since 2018, and it still works perfectly without a hitch? That's because there's no battery in the band, so your MagicBand will keep working just fine! On our last visit, though, I upgraded to the MagicBand+, and it was a game changer! MagicBand+ brings an extra sprinkle of magic to your Walt Disney World vacation. With customizable light-up themes, haptic vibrations, and more, it adds a whole new layer of interactivity to your park experience. My kids absolutely loved using their MagicBand+ to interact with the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection throughout the parks, it made the experience even more magical for them!

    Krista, I'd like you to know there are other options in addition to the MagicBands. Disney MagicMobile Service is a great alternative. This service is a feature of the My Disney Experience app. This app feature offers quick and easy access to the theme parks and Disney Resort hotel amenities through an eligible iPhone, Apple Watch or Android phone. You will be able to use Disney MagicMobile Service to enter the theme parks (with valid admission), link Disney PhotoPass images to your Disney account, check in at virtual queue and Lightning Lane entrances.

    Another alternative is to get an admission card at any Walt Disney World park ticket window. Be prepared to show your ticket confirmation email, the credit card used to make the purchase, and a valid photo ID. We have used them in the past and my kids loved using them to make Mickey turn green at touchpoints. They also feature different character designs and make great souvenirs.

    I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Krista. Thank you again for visiting us at planDisney!
