Hi Bryan!
You and your family are going to love
Disney Springs! To answer your question, no, you do not need a MagicBand to visit. Disney Springs is a large complex which offers shopping, dining and entertainment! It is open to the public and even offers free parking. If you are staying at a Disney Resort, you may opt to leave your vehicle and hop on the
bus transportation to Disney Springs!
Quick tip: Disney Springs has lots to offer with different dining options and entertainment experiences such as
Splitsville which is a bowling alley and restaurant. There is also a restaurant called
The BOATHOUSE where you can have a tour of Disney Springs aboard little "dreamboats" themed like retro or antique cars! I highly recommend that you check them out.
It has been a pleasure assisting you! Please feel free to send in any other questions you may have.
Thanks for sending you questions to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Happy Planning!
