Hey Howdy Hey, Tammy!
You've got a Friend in Me here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, so thanks for bringing your great question. I'm so excited you are already planning the details of your upcoming spring vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort.
You are going to just love all the perks of staying on property at a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. These hotels feature amazing theming, fantastic dining, great pools, complimentary bus transportation to the theme parks, and
Disney's Magical Express among many other amenities. There is no doubt you made a great decision. As you mentioned, another wonderful perk of staying on property is getting complimentary
MagicBands for your stay. These will act as your room key, park ticket, and even form of payment in the parks if you wish. They really simplify things during our vacation.
I'm delighted to tell you that MagicBands have children and adults in mind. One of the coolest features of these bands is that they have an extender that you can peel off making them the perfect size for kids or small adults. We were even able to put a MagicBand on my infant son with the extender removed. As a small adult myself, I actually also remove the outer section of the MagicBand prior to wearing so that it is more comfortable. Once this section is removed, you cannot put it back on, so make sure you size it to your wrists to be sure prior to removal.
Did you know that now when you select your MagicBand prior to arrival, you also have the option of
upgrading your band to one with a fun design? For a small fee that is only a fraction of what you would pay for this same MagicBand in the parks, you can choose from a variety of designs that feature Disney Characters, films, or attractions.
I hope this helps, and I wish you a Fantasmic vacation!
