Hey there, Meaghan! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you've stopped by with such a great planning question.
I couldn't be more excited to see that the magic of
Walt Disney World Resort is calling, and you're answering the call by planning a magical family adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth. How exciting! There is nothing like seeing the magic through the eyes of little ones. Watching my daughter on her first Disney vacation was unforgettable ... and so was losing her first MagicBand. I'm more than happy to help you avoid this not-so-magical mistake.
Since your MagicBand is linked to you and your tickets only, you won't be able to use your MagicBand or
MagicBand+ to tap your little Mousketeers into the theme parks. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." You can avoid getting MagicBands or physical ticket cards for your kids by using the
Disney MagicMobile Service on your smartphone.
Just log into your My Disney Experience app, tap the three-line menu icon at the bottom of the screen and then the "Disney MagicMobile" tile. Tap the plus sign at the top of the screen to create Disney MagicMobile Passes for your little ones and add them to your mobile device's digital wallet. Then, when you arrive at the theme parks, you can scan the Passes for your kiddos, and bibbidi ... bobbidi ... boo! It's magic time!
Meaghan, be sure to keep a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as your family adventure approaches for information on
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the spooky season snacks and much more. And stop by planDisney any time with any questions you have along the way. It's time to get this planning party started!
I hope this helps, Meaghan, and I hope you and your family have the most magical and memorable time!
Blue skies and sunshine,
Mandy
