Hello Cara, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with a great question.
I absolutely love the convenience of using
MagicBands during my trips to the Walt Disney World Resort. They are complimentary for guests staying at select Disney Resort Hotels. MagicBands are so stylish and allow you to enjoy a hassle-free experience during your visit.
MagicBands will access the information and plans linked to your
My Disney Experience account. Your theme park tickets and FastPass+ reservations will be linked to only your account. If you manage the My Disney Experience accounts for everyone in your travel party, you will only be able to access your information with your MagicBand. Everyone in your travel party is not required to have a MagicBand. They can just use their admission card to enter the park and redeem FastPass+ selections. I would recommend that anyone over the age 2 have their own MagicBand. It will allow you to enjoy yourself without having to constantly look for your admission card or PhotoPass card.
You can
purchase MagicBands online or through the Shop Disney Parks mobile app. You will find dozens of designs to suit everyone. Once you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort, you can purchase special event or limited edition MagicBands at select locations at Disney Theme Parks, Disney Resort Hotels, and Disney Springs. Keep in mind, that you can reuse your MagicBands on future vacations too.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
