Hi Jamey,
Thanks for bringing your question about accessing the magic on a Walt Disney World Resort vacation to planDisney. You've purchased your admission tickets, linked them to your My Disney Experience account, connected with
Family and Friends, and made your park pass reservations. Three chEARS for a job well done! There's just one more step to getting you in the theme parks, and that's to choose your
mode of entry.
There are currently three ways to get the information from your My Disney Experience account to the Mickey touchpoints located at each theme park entrance: MagicBand, admission card, and/or Disney MagicMobile service.
1.
MagicBands are not required but may be purchased on
shopDisney.com or at various retail locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort property such as
Disney Pin Traders at Disney Springs. A MagicBand would need to be purchased and
linked to your My Disney Experience account prior to park entry.
2. Complimentary admission cards can be obtained at any ticket or Guest Relations window located outside each theme park entrance. You will need to show your confirmation email, a valid photo ID, and the card used for payment. The ticket windows typically open one hour prior to park opening; the early bird gets the shortest line.
3.
Disney MagicMobile service allows you to create a digital pass containing your vacation entitlements that can be scanned at access points via eligible smart devices. To access this service, click the three horizontal lines on the bottom right of the
My Disney Experience mobile app home screen --> Disney MagicMobile --> Set Up Your Pass. You can create digital passes for other members of your party, as well, though it's recommended that each individual with their own My Disney Experience account create a Disney MagicMobile pass on their device.
In less than three weeks all of your advanced planning efforts will have paid off, Jamey. At some point during each of your park days, I encourage you to find a spot to sit, unplug, and immerse yourself in the magic of
The World's Most Magical Celebration. Snacks are highly encouraged for this exercise. Popcorn and Main Street, U.S.A. are a practically perfect combination, as are your questions and planDisney.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
