Hi Tina! Welcome to planDisney!
You'll be making your way to The Most Magical Place on Earth VERY soon! This time of year is perfect for a visit, as I'm sure you know. With cooler weather and events like the
Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts taking place, I can't think of a better spot to
spend a few winter days!
When your
MagicBand is linked to a credit card, it is actually linked to a Disney Resort hotel account. If you are staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you can have a credit card on file with your account and then use your MagicBand to make purchases around the Walt Disney World Resort. You can add the credit card by completing
Online Check-In or by visiting the Front Desk when you arrive for your stay. If you are not staying at a hotel on property, you won't be able to use your MagicBand for purchases.
You can link your credit card to your
My Disney Experience mobile app when it comes to
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering, and that makes grabbing a bite to eat SO convenient. When your stomach is craving some yummy food, simply use the mobile app to place an order at a nearby Quick-Service location, link your credit card to pay for your meal, check-in when you are ready to pick-up your food, then wait for the notification that your order is ready. How easy is that?! And good news ... everyone can use this service whether they are staying at a Disney Resort hotel or not!
I hope this helps and that you have an AH-MAZ-ING trip, Tina! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
