Hi, Michelle! Welcome to planDisney!
What did we ever do without
MagicBands? Wearing your MagicBand allows you to unlock your
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room, enter the
theme parks (with
valid admission), and connect your
Disney PhotoPass Service pictures, including your
attraction photos, to your
My Disney Experience account. During your resort hotel stay, you can even use your MagicBand to charge purchases to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room. I love that you can do all of this without ever having to fumble through your bag or wallet. It's all right there on your wrist!
Walt Disney World Annual Passholders automatically receive a MagicBand with the purchase of their Annual Pass, but MagicBands are not included when buying any other type of theme park admission tickets. Although a MagicBand will not come with your
4-Day Florida Resident Ticket, there are other ways to obtain a MagicBand to use for your trip to
Walt Disney World Resort.
If you will be staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel during your visit, you will be eligible to receive a complimentary or discounted MagicBand. Guests with a resort hotel arrival date through December 31, 2020 will receive a complimentary MagicBand for each person on their resort hotel reservation. If you have a resort hotel stay booked for a later date, you will have the option to purchase MagicBands at a discounted price.
If you do not have a resort hotel stay planned, you can still purchase a MagicBand to use during your visit. MagicBands are sold online at
shopDisney and in a variety of
retail locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort. I highly recommend using a MagicBand when you visit. MagicBands add a level of convenience to your vacation, and they even unlock some special personalized surprises throughout the theme parks.
If we can help you with any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask. See ya real soon!
