Hi Oluwabunmi!
Welcome to planDisney.
If you are planning to visit Walt Disney World in the future you can purchase a MagicBand+, or you can choose not to! I like them for the convenience of having everything available securely on my wrist, which makes my life easier. No rummaging around in my backpack to find my phone or my park tickets etc. and a bonus is that all MagicBand+ are waterproof so you can wear them while swimming or showering, and they are so useful for a day at the
water parks!
All that is required for you to enter a Walt Disney World theme park is a valid park admission ticket. This could be a physical card, a digital card that you have loaded onto your phone or mobile device or onto your My Disney Experience app, or a Key to the World card that you can request if you are a Disney Resort hotel guest. These are free of charge - and perform in the same way as a MagicBand+, allowing room charging, park admission, and unlocking your hotel room door.
I can understand from all the talk about
MagicBand+ and how much they can do to make our vacations easier (by storing our park tickets, enabling charging to our Disney Resort hotel room, and also unlocking our hotel room, among other things) anyone would think they are a requirement for our visit to Walt Disney World for any length of time. This is not true - it's all about personal choice, and even if you were staying at a Disney Resort hotel for several weeks you still wouldn't be required to use a MagicBand+.
If you decide to purchase a MagicBand+ there are many stores that sell them, including Disney Resort hotels gift shops. I recommend the
World of Disney at Disney Springs, and the
Emporium at Magic Kingdom Park or Creations Shop at EPCOT.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation.
