Hi Donna!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. So, the answer to your question is - it depends! Let me explain further. . .
You can purchase
MagicBands at all four Theme Parks, Disney Springs, and
online. I love the new millennial pink color; it is gorgeous! I have a couple of friends who use their MagicBands as accessories, so they have quite a few to choose from to match their outfits! Once you’ve purchased a MagicBand, you can
link it to your account online or via the My Disney Experience app. This allows your band to be your ticket to the ‘World.
If you are a
Guest of a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you will receive a complimentary band for each person on the reservation. If your booking is linked to your account, your MagicBand will be your ticket and key to your hotel room door! The complimentary bands are usually solid in color, but you have
the option of upgrading your band for a small fee.
If you prefer to not use a band, you can get a plastic ticket at any of the Main Entrance Ticket Windows or at
Disney Springs. You will use it like a credit card at the turnstile entrances.
Donna, I hope this answers your question. If you have any others, please don’t hesitate to come back. We are all EARs!
