    Can I link disney reward cards and disney gift cards to a magic band if I don't stay in disney owned resort?

    Welcome to planDisney, James!

    MagicBands are my favorite all-in-one vacation accessory!  They can be used to access theme park admission tickets, redeem Lightning Lane reservations, and connect Disney PhotoPass photos to your My Disney Experience account.  Guests who are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can even use their MagicBand to unlock their hotel room door and charge purchases to their room folio.  The folio balance will then be charged to the credit card on file provided at check-in.  Guests who wish to use a Disney Gift Card or a Disney Rewards Redemption Card from Disney Visa may visit the front desk at their resort to apply the card to their balance.

    At this time, Guests who are not staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel cannot use MagicBands for charging privileges.  But, I have great news for you, James!  Disney Gift Cards and Disney Rewards Redemption Cards can be used as payment methods when placing mobile food and beverage orders in the My Disney Experience mobile app!  I enter the card number as a note on my phone so I can just copy and paste instead of typing it in each time I place an order.  This makes it very convenient to use my Disney Rewards as my snack budget!

    I hope that helps!  Please stop by planDisney again with any additional questions you may have.  Enjoy your vacation!
