    Hi! My mother in law is coming with us on this trip. How do I link a different credit card to her magic band so that her charges don’t go on our credit card. Thanks so much!

    Welcome to planDisney, Alison!

    There's so much to love about a MagicBand! From the ease of tapping into the theme parks, unlocking your Disney Resort hotel room or scanning it to add those unforgettable Disney PhotoPass photos to your account - it does make your vacation feel seamless! I love the convenience of using my MagicBand+ to charge purchases to my room reservation. 

    When there’s more than one adult in the room, many Guests prefer to link their own credit card to their MagicBand to help keep purchases organized. The good news, Alison, is that it’s quick and easy to set up! Simply stop by the Front Desk (I like to take care of this on check-in day), where each adult can present a credit card and their MagicBand. A friendly Cast Member will link them up, and before you know it, you’ll be charging purchases faster than you can say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

    I also recommend checking in at the Front Desk mid-stay to review your folio and make sure everything looks just right. If you’d like to use Disney Gift Cards to pay your folio, be sure to do so before midnight the day prior to check-out. After that time, all remaining charges are automatically billed to the credit card linked to your MagicBand. You’ll still enjoy charging privileges on your check-out day - those purchases will be added to your credit card.

    I hope this helps as you prepare for your visit, Alison. Wishing you a magical stay filled with special memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Warm hugs,
    Candace
