Welcome to planDisney Elizabeth!
A Springtime vacation to Walt Disney World sounds wonderful! Make plans to enjoy the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. You will love the gardens, topiaries, and the Outdoor Kitchens where you can dine on the most amazing dishes that each have an international flare!
In order to charge purchases back to your room using a
MagicBand, you must be a registered guest at a Disney Resort hotel and have a credit card and PIN linked to your account. Since it sounds like your kids are staying elsewhere, they will not be able to use their MagicBand in that fashion. Assuming their MagicBands are active and linked to their My Disney Experience account, the bands can be used for their linked
Theme Park Tickets.
In lieu of charging to your room with MagicBands, most locations accept Apple Pay. This might be an option if your kids carry cell phones. Most Quick Service locations also use
Mobile Order, so they can order their meals on their phones, then pay with a stored credit card, Apple Pay, or even Disney Gift Card.
Your kids are going to have the best time and make so many magical memories with their friends on this band trip. I'm sure the parents will have just a bit of fun as well! Enjoy!
