Hi there, Christi, and welcome to planDisney! I am absolutely thrilled that you're here today with this awesome question about your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World Resort! It will be here before you know it, and you must be getting so excited! Have you made your packing list yet? That's always "step one" for me, along with setting up a fun countdown for the whole family!
Christy, as a fellow Georgian, I'm so happy that I get to chat with you about using a MagicBand during your visit. While you don't have to wear a
MagicBand during your visit to a
Water Park, you certainly can! I find that MagicBands are so convenient and helpful. There are a couple of other ways, however, to
access the magic during your vacation, and I definitely recommend taking advantage of them. The best part is, each option is complimentary for Guests, and they work the same for tapping in at park entry and charging purchases to your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room!
The first option is called
Disney MagicMobile Service. Just head to your My Disney Experience Mobile App, and go to My Tickets and Passes. You will see an option to save to your wallet. This is just like saving a boarding pass or ticket to the wallet of your smart phone, and you can access it with a quick double-tap. You can do this for your profile and any profile you manage. I have MagicMobile set up for myself as well as all of my kids on my phone.
The second option is a Key to the World Card. You can pick this up either at Guest Services or at the Front Desk of your Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Some Guests wear a lanyard to keep the card within arm's reach at all times, but you can store it wherever you like!
Christi, I hope that this is helpful to you as you plan your vacation. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
