Welcome to planDisney, Christine! I'm so excited to hear that you'll be sailing away for the very first time with
Disney Cruise Line; your adventures at sea are sure to be filled with magical memories, lots of hugs from your favorite characters, quality entertainment, and delicious dining around every corner!
Now let's get to your question about what I call the "most magical accessory on Earth" - the MagicBand! While the traditional MagicBands won't function onboard Disney Cruise Line, and you will receive a
Key to the World Card once onboard for necessary functions like opening your stateroom door, linking your vacation photos, and charging purchases back to your room, if you have a MagicBand+ from a previous Disney Resort visit, I'd definitely recommend you bring it along and use it as a
DisneyBand+ while sailing!
Here are some of the key features I love about sailing with a DisneyBand+:
- Hands-free access to my stateroom
- Quick and convenient boarding with just the flick of your wrist
- Unique designs that feature my favorite characters or specialty Disney Cruise Line designs make for a fun collectible after sailing
- Magical interactions all around the ship - from the dining rooms to the atriums and even in the kids' clubs, your band makes you feel connected to the magic in unexpected and fun ways
Christine, if you don't already have a DisneyBand+, you can
pre-purchase one before your sailing if you decide you'd like to enhance your experience (and your wardrobe) with this fun accessory!
I hope this helps, and I hope you have a fantastic first sailing with Disney Cruise Line! If you have any other questions before you set off on your magical voyage, come see us again here at

Bon Voyage,
Alison
