Hey there, hi there, ho there, Kelly!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for bringing us a fantastic
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Oh boy! You're gearing up for an unforgettable trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth very soon. Are you ready to make magical memories during a thrill-filled vacation!? Let's chat about how you can access the magic during your upcoming Disney Parks adventure.
Kelly, you'll be happy to know you have several options available to you when it comes to utilizing your theme park admission. While you can view your theme park tickets in the My Disney Experience mobile app, you'll need to create a
Disney MagicMobile pass in order to use your phone for theme park admission. Once you've set up your digital pass, you'll be able to use your phone to tap in at the theme park turnstiles, redeem Lightning Lane passes, link Disney PhotoPass media, and more! Alternatively, you could utilize a Magicband or
MagicBand+. Just be sure you've linked it to your profile in
My Disney Experience before you head to the theme parks to use it for the first time. Finally, you could stop by
Guest Relations at the theme park main entrance to request a physical card (also known as a "Key to the World" card) that'd provide you with many of the same capabilities I've mentioned.
If you do opt for a MagicBand+, I recommend fully charging it overnight before its
first use, Kelly. That's because these handy bands offer extra magical features that rely on battery power! Once you've linked your band to your profile in My Disney Experience, pair it to your mobile device and ensure any updates have been downloaded. Then, I recommend plugging it in overnight to ensure the best experience!
I hope you've found these suggestions useful as you prepare for a wondrous wintertime trip to the Walt Disney World Resort, Kelly. If you think up any additional questions before you head to The Most Magical Place on Earth, you can always find us here at
planDisney! We're all ears.
See ya real soon,
Lauren
