Welcome Back, Sandy!
How exciting that you'll be visiting Walt Disney World Resort during
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Even though you'll be visiting after Santa stops by, many holiday shows, decorations and the
Epcot International Festival of the Holidays will still be around.
Guests of Disney Resort Hotels receive complimentary MagicBands to use at their room key, theme park admission ticket, and way to easily access Disney Dining Plan entitlements and FastPass+ reservations. You'll scan your band every time you take a PhotoPass photo, and you'll even be able to make charges by tapping your MagicBand at almost every dining location and shop!
MagicBands are shipped to your house auto-magically 30 days before your arrival date. Log in to your My Disney Experience account and
click 'MagicBands and Cards'. You'll be able to select one of nine colors for each band in your party, as well as have a name, initials or nickname inscribed on the backside. (This way should two people in your group choose the same color, you'll be able to tell which band belongs to whom.) If you miss the shipping date cutoff, you'll be able to pick up your bands at the Front Desk of your resort hotel.
You should be able to schedule your FastPass+ reservations now. Log back in to your My Disney Experience account and click
'FastPass+ Planning.' Click the blue "Start Planning" bar in the upper right corner, which should get you on your way. If you're still having trouble, please call (407) 939-4357 who will be able to assist with both MagicBands and/or FastPass+ planning.
We'll See You Real Soon, Sandy!
