Hey Howdy Hey Rae,
I am so excited you stopped back at planDisney with this great question. Actually, I am anxiously waiting for the delivery of new MagicBand+ purchases I recently made for our upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
MagicBands and now the recently released
MagicBand+ are waterproof, plastic wristbands that have a small RFID chip in the center circle. While they are not required for your magical Disney adventure, they will make your trip easier and more fun. Once linked to your
My Disney Experience account, you will be able to use your MagicBand+ as your theme park and water park admission ticket. If you have added
DisneyGenie+ to your admission ticket, you can use it to enter the lines for your selected attractions and to load Photopass photos onto your My Disney Experience account. It will also serve as your
Disney Resorts hotel key and if you are staying onsite, you can use it to charge purchases to your resort account.
MagicBand+ are offered in many color and design options and can be purchased at
shopDisney as well as merchandise locations throughout the parks and resorts. But wait - if all of that was not enough, the new MagicBand+ has added even more really cool features like interacting with the
nighttime spectaculars or giving you the chance to become a Bounty Hunter at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Helpful tip - some of the MagicBand+ options are quite popular, so if there is an option you really love, be sure to make the selection soon before your favorite is gone.
If I can help with any additional planning questions, please stop back and
see me.
With pixie dust,
Margaret
