Ahoy there, Janet. Welcome to planDisney! So happy you’ve taken the time to stop by with your question for us.
Having a MagicBand+ (or specifically branded as
DisneyBand+ on
Disney Cruise Line) provides convenience and some pixie dust during your upcoming Disney sailing. From boarding the ship on Embarkation Day and entering your stateroom to making purchases at retail shops or specialty cafes and lounges, a MagicBand+ allows you to navigate the ship,
Disney Castaway Cay and
Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point with ease. Moreover, you’ll experience a splash of Disney magic with haptic touches and dazzling lights during interactive moments in the dining rooms, the kids’ club and atrium, and even during the nighttime fireworks!
While a MagicBand+ provides easy hands-free convenience during your Disney cruise, it’s not required for you to have an amazing vacation! Your
Key to the World Card is sufficient to access everything you need for your sailing, from embarking and disembarking the ship, entering your stateroom, and making purchases. While I enjoy wearing my DisneyBand+ on the cruise, my husband (who doesn't typically wear his smartwatch on a daily basis when he's home) prefers to stick with just his Key to the World Card.
Regardless of whether you choose to navigate the ship with your Key to the World Card or a MagicBand+ during your sailing, I bet you’ll have a magical, relaxing time hanging with Captain Mickey. As you continue to plan your upcoming Disney cruise, please feel free to sail by
planDisney again if you have more questions for us.
Hope to SEA ya real soon,
Kiki
