Hey there, hi there, ho there, Cristy! It's been a while since you've stopped by to see us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm so happy you've come to visit again!
Two days at the Walt Disney World Resort sounds practically perfect! Even short visits can be so much fun. My family lives an hour's drive away, so we take lots of day trips, and I just love every precious minute!
Cristy, if you're staying in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you'll get complimentary
MagicBands for everyone on your reservation. They're useful for Theme Park admission and
FastPass+ entry, of course, but Resort hotel Guests can also use MagicBands for things like paying for purchases and unlocking their hotel room door.
If you're staying offsite, MagicBands are fun, but not really needed. The admission card you receive when you buy your tickets takes care of your Park admission and FastPass+ access, and you can even scan it for your
Disney PhotoPass photos. You can certainly buy MagicBands for fun (and they come in
lots of designs that make great souvenirs of your trip!), but they are not necessary.
I hope this helps you plan an amazing visit to Walt Disney World, Cristy. Please come see us again soon!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
