Samantha,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
That is the great thing about Disney's ticketing system, you can have the ticket on your iPhone and the Magic Band, all at the same time!
I tested this out recently, just to be sure. I had my Magic Band on and used it to enter the park and charge purchases as well. On the same trip, with no steps or effort on my part, I was able to get into the parks with my Apple iPhone. All at the same time I was able to charge items on my iPhone, through the
My Disney Experience App.
BONUS TIPIf you like to use the
Magic Band, but don't want it on your wrist, there are solutions. You can actually remove the center piece that has all the technology. If you do, Disney sells some fun keychain attachments that are designed to hold that 'puck'. I have also found on Etsy some puck holders designed to slide on to a watch band.
Write me back if you have any follow-up questions!
Have a Magical Vacation!Doug
