Welcome back, Francine! We are so happy to see you stopped by again with such a great question!
Your visit to
Walt Disney World Resort is just a few short weeks away! How exciting! I bet you will have a great time enjoying all that
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration has to offer. I know my favorite part is all of the EARidescent magic found at every corner. You'll love
Beacons of Magic illuminating all four theme park icons in magnificent color and light. It really is spectacular! If you plan to visit
Disney's Hollywood Studios at night, see if you can spot the guests enjoying a celebratory dance in the windows at the top of The Hollywood Tower Hotel.
Francine, I am happy to share that you can absolutely use your
MagicBand and
Disney MagicMobile Service together throughout your upcoming stay. I love the ease of using Disney MagicMobile Service, but with all the photos I am taking in the parks, my phone is notorious for dying in the middle of the day. So, I always have my MagicBand on me as a backup for park entry and even to use for entry into my
Disney Resort hotel room. If you are traveling with Guests who have not purchased a MagicBand, or if it's just not your style, you can also ask Guest Relations at your Disney Resort hotel for a card that functions similarly to the MagicBand. It's always good to have a backup, just in case!
Did you know that if you use an Apple device, once you add Disney MagicMobile Pass to your phone, your pass is automatically added to any paired Apple Watch? Plus, your device is also automatically set to Express Mode, so you can use Disney MagicMobile with just a tap without having to unlock your phone with each use. How cool is that?
With technology ever-evolving, it's often difficult to keep track of what's possible! The new
Magicband+ is set to debut at Walt Disney World in 2022 and is sure to be an exciting new and interactive offering! I personally cannot wait to learn more about it. Rest assured, the team at planDisney is here to answer any questions you may have. We hope to see you again real soon!
Have a magical day!
