    My tickets are one my experience app, it says I can download to my wallet, will that be used only to get in the parks and will we receive a card for the rides or wristband? I am not getting the magic bands

    Welcome, welcome, welcome, Mechelle, to our friendly and informative little corner of the internet! We love to help Guests make the most magic on their next Disney vacation.

    There are many different ways to access the magic at the Walt Disney World Resort. One way is through the Disney MagicMobile Service, which is when you use the My Disney Experience mobile app to create a MagicMobile Pass for your mobile device. This can be used to enter the theme parks, charge items back to your Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, and access any Lightning Lanes you may have purchased. Alternatively, you can purchase a MagicBand to link to your account and use for these functions instead. If you’d like a card to use for the same purposes, sometimes referred to a “Key to the World Card,” you can request one at a Guest Relations location outside of the theme parks or at the Disney Ticket Center in Disney Springs. It’s also important to note that you don’t need to tap into an attraction or an experience unless you’re redeeming a Lightning Lane or are checking in for a Virtual Queue that you’ve reserved for select experiences. Otherwise, if the attraction is open and you’ve scanned into the park, hop into that standby queue and enjoy! 

    The best part is that not everyone in your travel party has to have the same way to access the magic. I’ve been in groups where some use a card, others use MagicMobile, and some just have to have a MagicBand. And in case you’re wondering, some is me. I must have a MagicBand, especially a MagicBand+, and I’d prefer it to be a brand new one. Do I need a brand-new one each time? Absolutely not! But I like choices, have a hard time actually choosing just one, and I’d prefer it to match my DisneyBound outfit for the day. I’ve got my eye on a Scarlet Witch one for my upcoming trip, especially because I’m all in with Agatha All Along on Disney+!

    And plus, if you’re staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel with a vacation package, you are typically able to get a pre-arrival discount on a new MagicBand through My Disney Experience. Just click “My MagicBands and Cards” from the My Disney Experience dropdown menu, click the blue “Get Started” button, and follow the prompts. It might be worth it just to see the options that are available (selection and inventory change often). You never know what might speak to you!

    Mechelle, enjoy your vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any other questions, feel free to send them my way.

    This is gonna be a gas,
