After making my resort reservation, I got my MagicBands. A week later, I modified the reservation and got RFID cards with a note saying they were my tickets. My MDE says the bands and the cards are active. Do I need to take the cards AND bands to the park?

Hi Stacy, Welcome to Disney Parks Moms Panel. When I have that kind of situation, which can be confusing, I tend to carry both, at least on my first day visiting the parks. You will have to see if you MagicBands are really working fine and if so, on the next day, you can leave your plastic cards at the resort. If you think, they are so small and light that I carry mine during my trip. I better be safe than to lose one minute having to go to Guest Relations to solve a problem. I better be having fun at the attractions, having the best of my family time. Have a magical trip! Camila R.
