Welcome to planDisney, Lynn!
I am such a big fan of
MagicBands! They unlock so much magic and are super fun and stylish! MagicBands are supposed to last for about 2 years, but I have seen friends use theirs for a little longer. You can always bring the ones you already have and purchase new MagicBands upon arrival if you are unable to use them. If you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, remember that you are welcome to purchase MagicBands at pre-arrival prices by visiting
My MagicBands and Cards.
Lynn, I am thrilled to share that Guests can now use
Disney MagicMobile service, which is a contactless new option for entering theme parks! This magical technology is currently available for iPhone and Apple Watch (coming soon to other smart devices) and is offered in addition to MagicBands. You may use Disney MagicMobile service, a MagicBand, or a card interchangeably! This means that if your MagicBands do not work at park entrance, you can always use your iPhone or Apple Watch to enter the theme parks. In case you decide not to use MagicBands or Disney MagicMobile, you are welcome to stop by will-call windows at park entrance to retrieve physical tickets, or visit Front Desk at your Disney Resort hotel to request a
Key to the World card.
I hope this information is helpful, Lynn! Come back to visit us for more tips and advice as you plan your visit!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
