Hi there and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that your Walt Disney World vacation is coming up in just a couple of days! I'm sure you're in your final planning and packing stages and can't wait to officially start your vacation.
MagicBands add an extra convenience to any Walt Disney World vacation. You can use them to enter the theme parks, enter
Lightning Lane attraction queues, open your
Disney Resort hotel room door and make purchases for merchandise and Disney dining. You do not have to use your MagicBand for payments and can use your gift cards and cash to pay for your purchases as you go instead. If you do want to charge to your MagicBand, you can pay off your charges at the front desk of your hotel with your preferred method of payment.
I love to take advantage of
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. This allows you to skip the line and order drinks, snack and meals at select
quick service restaurants and just head over to pick it up when it's ready. You can also use
Merchandise Mobile Checkout in select gift shops to easily purchase any souvenirs you would like to take home with you. You can use your
Disney Gift Cards as payment in the app, which makes it even easier!
Please
stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
