Hi Donna!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
It is very useful to be able to use your
MagicBand at
Disney Springs, and I have used it at select locations there, many times. It will vary. For any shops that are Disney-owned, such as World of Disney, you can definitely use your MagicBand at checkout to pay for your items. I have also recently used my MagicBand at Sephora and
Tren-D, but I recommend that you check with the cashier before you do your shopping if that is your only method of payment as it is entirely up to the retailer whether they accept MagicBands or not. As a rule of thumb, if a restaurant accepts the Disney Dining Plan you will be permitted to make a room charge using your MagicBand. If you want to find out which Disney Springs restaurants accept any of the Disney Dining Plans,
scroll through this list, click on a restaurant you are interested in, then over on the right it will say 'Some Dining Plans Accepted'.
Enjoy Disney Springs. I always plan some time relaxing time there, with wonderful shops and a huge variety of restaurants. It's such a pleasure to sit in the sunshine enjoying coffee and ice cream from
Vivoli il Gelato or a beautifully designed cake from
Amorette's Patisserie (both of which accept the Disney Dining Plan).
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort.
