Hi ya Cindy! I am so excited to hear about your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort.
MagicBands are a great all-in-one device that also double as a cute accessory. When I visit, because of the small collection of MagicBands that I now have, I find myself matching them to my outfits! MagicBands are included when staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, however even if you aren’t staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel, they are available for anyone to purchase.
On my most recent trip, I traveled with my husband, two kids, and extended family. We actually did all the parks together but stayed in separate hotels. My family stayed at
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, in the Toy Story section which consisted of newly refurbished rooms and a fun Murphy bed my kids adored. My extended family did stay offsite and decided to go ahead and
purchase their MagicBands before their arrival.
Once they found which MagicBand best suited their personalities, they were able to link their card admission to their MagicBands using the
My Disney Experience Mobile App all before our arrival. (Pro-tip, be sure to bring both your card admission and purchased MagicBand with you on your visit, just in case.) I find that using a MagicBand is so much easier when traveling with my little ones because of how universal and convenient they are. Everything is right there on my wrist! You can also use your card admission and decide while you’re in the parks if you want to make the switch. There are so many shopping locations that sell MagicBands and with the use of the My Disney Experience Mobile App, make the transition from card to band simple!
Thanks for stopping by and I cannot wait to help answer anymore questions you may have before your arrival date!
