Hello, Luke! Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question.
I love new technology, especially one I can incorporate into my Disney Cruise. I also really like the exclusive
DisneyBand+ cruise designs. I’m happy to share my experience with you.
DisneyBand+ works from the moment you reach the terminal. You can tap to board the ship, effortlessly access your stateroom, and charge specialty food and merchandise to your stateroom folio. The band is not only convenient but also has a few magical extras built in. You will still need your Key to the World card when you visit ports of call.
I tried DisneyBand+ on my last sailing and found that wearing the band and my Apple Watch together wasn't to my liking. Personally, I prefer using my Key to the World card for onboard purchases rather than removing the band to pay. My husband shares the same sentiment. However, the band was helpful at
Disney Castaway Cay – no need to dig through my beach bag when paying the roaming beach bartenders. The band made the transaction a breeze.
Luke, DisneyBand+ offers hands-free convenience, but you'll need to decide whether it's the best fit for your vacation style. You can always wait to purchase a band at
Mickey’s Mainsail once you board. Keep in mind that you will have to charge your band to experience the light and haptic vibrations.
If you have any other questions before you leave, please return to planDisney and see us again. My friends and I are here to help.
SEAS the adventure!
