Hi, there!
Larry, it sounds like you have an incredible trip to Walt Disney World Resort planned for your family. I am happy to answer your question about your sons' MagicBands.
My husband's parents very generously treated the whole family of 14 to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation a few years ago. We had an amazing time together! To be sure my in-laws were not charged for any additional purchases we made during our stay, my husband went to the Front Desk at our Disney Resort hotel and linked a personal credit card to his MagicBand along with a unique PIN code to be used when making food and merchandise purchases for our immediate family of four. Both his brothers went to the Front Desk to do the same for their immediate families. So, you are correct. Your sons should each visit the Front Desk of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge upon check-in to link their personal credit cards to their MagicBands.
You will love your stay at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! It is one of my family's favorite Disney Resort hotels. Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge boasts incredible programs and activities like storytelling, African face painting and Night Vision Animal Viewing! Be sure to grab a Recreation Calendar while you are there for an updated schedule of events.
If you're looking for a delicious meal during your stay, look no further than
Sanaa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village. We never make a trip to Walt Disney World Resort without a visit to Sanaa for their outstanding Indian-style bread service and amazing views of the Sunset Savanna!
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I hope you and your family have a magical time together, Larry!
