Hi Ashli,
Welcome to planDisney!
Although they are not required for a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, my family still adores
MagicBands. Since we stay at resorts in the
Disney Resorts Collection, we are able to use our MagicBands for room entry and to charge purchases to our room folio account. With a credit card attached to the folio, our purchases are then automatically charged to that credit card.
If you do not have MagicBands, you still have options. With the
My Disney Experience Mobile App, you can access your Disney Resorts Collection room and with
Disney MagicMobile service, you can access your theme park admission via your mobile device to enter the park.
I am so excited that you are visiting during the
Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort. This is my family's favorite time of year. If you have not done so already, book a
vacation package and link that package in your
My Disney Experience account. Once that vacation package is linked, make
Disney Park Pass system reservations. You will be visiting during a busy time, so make those park pass reservations. And always check the
theme park reservation availability calendar before trying to cancel park pass reservations and make new ones.
Ashli, keep your eye on the
operational updates since policies and procedures could change. Find your superhero gear (no capes!) and get ready for an
Incredible Disney Day!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
