Hi Shelby!
From one New Yorker to another, welcome to planDisney! Congratulations on making your reservations for an upcoming stay at Walt Disney World! It is truly the Most Magical Place on Earth! Your visit coincides with the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Walt Disney World Resort! Lots of new and exciting things are happening around the resorts and theme parks.
Harmonious is the new fireworks spectacular at EPCOT!
Disney Enchantment is the new nighttime extravaganza happening at Magic Kingdom Park! New food and snack options abound throughout the resorts, such as the 50th Anniversary Mickey Bar and a special celebratory Dole Whip, to name a few! There is so much to choose from, you'll have to return again (and again, and again!)
Disney MagicBands are a great and convenient way of accessing your theme park tickets, resort room, and charging privileges. Available in a variety of colors, themes, and designs, MagicBands have become a wonderful accessory to any Walt Disney World vacation. Guests can purchase a MagicBand prior to their stay on the
My Disney Experience link, or at the Disney store, either online or near you. Should you opt not to purchase a MagicBand, you can head to Guest Relations at the theme parks prior to entry, and receive an Admission Card, which will allow you access into the parks. Guests with an eligible iPhone, Apple Watch, or Google Pay enabled Android Phone are able to utilize the
Disney MagicMobile Pass. Simply open the My Disney Experience App, and click on MagicMobile. Follow the prompts and you will be able to add your tickets to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay and use your phone to scan into the parks!
My Disney Experience Planning Tip: You can also use the MDE App on your phone to unlock your Resort Hotel Door as well as charge food and purchases to the card on file for your resort stay!
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
