    Are physical, plastic cards still available for use as entry to parks and lighting lane rides. If so, where do I pick it up?

    Hi Kevin!

    Welcome to planDisney!

    I’m happy to report that physical Key to the World cards are still available for park entry and Lightning Lanes. Just ask a Cast Member at the front desk of your Disney World resort or Guest Relations at the theme parks, and they’ll be happy to assist you. 

    If you’d rather have everything ready to go prior to your trip, I recommend setting up the Disney MagicMobile Service on your phone or purchasing a MagicBand. If you’re staying at a Disney World resort, you’ll have the option to purchase customized MagicBands. But you can also look at DisneyStore.com for even more design options. 

    If you plan to order MagicBands, I’d try to do that as soon as possible to ensure delivery to your house before your trip. 

    The nice thing about MagicBands is that, if you plan to take a Disney vacation again in the future, you can reuse the same band. I’ve really felt like that’s upped the value of our MagicBands. We’ll even be using ours on a Disney Cruise later this year!

    Now that we’ve chatted about that, I couldn’t help but notice that you’ll be at Disney World during this year’s Festival of the Arts at Epcot. Something tells me that we’ll be getting all the details about the delicious food offered during that festival soon, so keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for the Foodie Guide!

    I hope you have the best time! If you have any other questions, let us know, and we’ll be happy to help!
