Hello again, John and welcome back to planDisney! Your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is just around the corner!
Ah, the
MagicBand - for some it's a fashion accessory, for others it's a room key, for others it's THE souvenir to have from every visit, and for many it's all that and more! From your question it seems like your wife may fall into that last category, but whatever the reason for her MagicBand fandom, one thing is certain: a MagicBand does put a lot of convenience into your stay at
Disney's All-Star Music Resort!
Good news, John - you can definitely purchase just a single MagicBand for your upcoming trip! Doing so is easier than saying supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which if I'm honest, is easier than we all used to think, right? All you have to do is sign-in to your MyDisneyExperience account on a computer, and select
My MagicBands and Cards from the dropdown menu. From there it's a simple "Step in Time" to purchase MagicBands for only select members of your party!
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
You're absolutely right that the Magic of the MagicBands is now available on that
other incredible feat of technology most of us carry around with us.
Disney MagicMobile Service allows you to use your compatible mobile device the same way you would a MagicBand and more! Right now, you can use it to enter theme parks (with a valid theme park reservation and valid admission), connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account, and charge to your Disney Resort hotel folio during your stay - and more features are on their way in the future!
There's never been a better time to test out all the ways the MyDisneyExperience app and Disney MagicMobile Service combine to make the most out of
The World's Most Magical Celebration - so be sure to connect your tickets, park reservations, and any other entitlements - next thing you know, your wife will be tapping into the parks like a pro!
I hope that gives you everything you need to get prepped for your trip, John! Thank you so much for your question, and if any others come up as you continue planning, please drop us another line here at planDisney!
Oh, and I nearly made it through your answer without the ultimate Disney's All-Star Resorts "dad joke"...but I just can't help myself.
Hey now, you're an All-Star, get your game on, go play!
