Hiya, Nicola, and welcome to planDisney! It's so exciting that you're here with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort holiday! You'll be arriving in just a few short days, and you must be thrilled!
Nicola, you'll be happy to know that
Disney MagicMobile Service allows you to save your
Disney Theme Park tickets directly to your smartphone's wallet, just like you would with a credit card or boarding pass. You can do this not only with your ticket, but also with the tickets of any Guests whose
profiles you manage.
For example, I use MagicMobile Service for myself and my three children, but my husband has his own on his phone because he manages his own myDisney account. MagicMobile Service is complimentary, making it a must-have for my family, even though we all typically wear a
Disney Band.
To use MagicMobile Service, open up the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Click on the menu icon in the bottom right corner, then tap My Tickets & Passes. Choose Save to Wallet. Do this for each person whose profile you manage.
You're also welcome to visit the Front Desk of your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or Guest Services to pick up a Key to the World Card, another complimentary option that will allow you to tap in with ease at park entry.
Since you're traveling in August, here are a few tips that might be helpful:
- Prepare for very warm weather; consider personal fans and cooling towels.
- You never know when a rain shower will pop up, so a poncho is a great thing to have on hand.
- Consider arriving early in the day to take advantage of lower crowds and head back to your Disney Resorts Collection hotel's pool to cool off in the afternoon. You can always go back to the park in the evening when it's cooler!
- Booking an Advance Dining Reservation at a table service restaurant ensures you have a dedicated place to relax and refuel with your family while enjoying delicious food and air conditioning!
- Use the Mobile Food & Beverage Order feature within the My Disney Experience Mobile App to place your order in advance. This will save you time waiting in line when you're hungry!
Nicola, I hope this is helpful to you as you continue the countdown to your vacation. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
