Welcome to planDisney, Rachel! You'll be arriving at
Walt Disney World Resort soon, and it sounds like you've booked a fabulous vacation package. Let's look at how you can use and protect your Magical Extras card during your visit.
I chatted with a protective Cast Member named Terry who said that as long as all the information on the card is fully visible, laminating it should be fine. But as a former teacher, I've had lamination go terribly wrong, Terry. I'm sure it was user error, but I remember a traumatic incident when I had to throw away an entire roll of clear contact paper. I suggest finding a clear plastic sleeve, such as the type used in wallets to protect photos, and putting your card there for safekeeping.
I recently purchased a card wallet at
World of Disney in
Disney Springs. It has a clear card holder designed for a photo ID, but I use it for my annual pass card. A small wallet like that would be the perfect spot to store your Magical Extras card. Keep an eye out when you arrive; it would be a practical purchase and a fun souvenir!
If you make it to Disney Springs, you should be able to take advantage of the
Magical Extras discounts at many shops and restaurants there. You'll receive a discount at
House of Blues Restaurant & Bar, where my husband and I watched the Super Bowl recently. The
Everything Legendary Burger is 100% delicious...and 100% plant-based!
Rachel, I hope your visit is as smooth and unscathed as possible! Protect that magical card and have a blast. Please
stop by planDisney anytime!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
