    If I use my magicband to pay for food at a restaurant does it automatically charge to the card on file at my resort or can I set it up to charge my debit card instead

    Hiya, Susan!

    Welcome back to planDisney! Hip, hip, hooray! Your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just a few short days away. I am sure that you are busy finalizing all the last-minute details, so let's not delay. Here's all you need to know about using your MagicBand to pay!

    Guests of Walt Disney World Resort Collection hotels can use a MagicBand or MagicBand+ option to charge food and merchandise purchases to their resort hotel room. When the morning of your check out arrives, the charges you made will automatically be charged to the card on file. If you prefer to avoid this you do have a couple of different options! The first is to head to the front desk of your resort when you arrive. Let the Cast Member who is assisting you know that you would like to add a different card for your MagicBand charges. They will be able to make the change and you can even keep your original card on file at the hotel if you prefer. The card will not be charged for your MagicBand purchases. 

    You can also change the card you have on file to your debit card. Should this be your preference you can also do this at the front desk of the resort. Changing the card you have on file will result in any hotel charges being applied to that card in addition to purchases made with your MagicBand. 

    You picked an amazing time to visit! The World's Most Magical Celebration will still be going strong when you arrive. There are new nighttime spectaculars, Beacons of Magic, and 50th Anniversary treats throughout the parks. Traditional Character Greetings have also returned, meaning you can get autographs and hugs from your favorite pals. I hope you are ready for the best trip ever!

    I hope your upcoming adventure is memorable and magical!
    We'll see ya real soon!
