    I am planning an adult trip to Disney. I have purchased Magic Band + for all. We are staying at Port New Orleans Riverside. We will be visiting all theme parks. What do these bands do, and is there a list of activities related to these bands?

    Hi there, Tamara. Welcome to planDisney. 

    Oh, there's no place like Walt Disney World for the holidays! I'm so excited to hear you're visiting during the Christmas season! With the twinkling decorations, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and a variety of oh-so-yummy seasonal foods, you're in for a very special festive vacation. I'm glad you stopped by with such a great question! I love how my MagicBand+ simplifies my theme park experience, and I'm happy to share some of the features you'll find helpful. 

    With your MagicBand+, you can: 
    - Tap into the admission gates of the theme parks and into the Lightning Lane queues for quick entry to the attractions. 
    - Unlock your Resort hotel room door with just a simple tap of your wrist. 
    - Charge food and merchandise purchases directly to your account. 
    - Allow Disney PhotoPass photographers to quickly scan your band to link your photos to your account.

    Your MagicBand+ is also a lot of fun. It lights up and interacts with fireworks shows, attractions like Na'vi River Journey and Haunted Mansion, and during shows like Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and Fantasmic!

    When it comes to some serious Force-filled fun, your MagicBand+ allows you to become a Batuu Bounty Hunter! This interactive game in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge lets you complete missions and collect bounties. This game is a lot of fun, and truth be told, I see as many grown-ups play this interactive game as kids. 

    I love the convenience of using my MagicBand+, and I know you will too. Please let us know if you have any other questions, and we'll be happy to help. Tamara, no one decks the halls like Walt Disney World, and I ho-ho-hope you and your Disney pals will have the most magical time! Be sure to keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for all the latest holiday news and follow us on Instagram for even more helpful tips. 

    Happy planning, 
    Shonette
