Hi Jane!
Thanks for coming back to see us at planDisney! I'm happy to help you get ready for your next trip to Walt Disney World Resort, which isn't too far away. Hopefully, you're following the
Disney Parks Blog as you plan to get all of the latest announcements about the magic you'll enjoy during your visit!
As a
Disney Visa Cardmember, you'll enjoy some awesome discounts during your trip to the "Most Magical Place on Earth." To use the discount, you must physically pay with your Disney Visa card at the point of purchase. So, unfortunately, if you pay with your MagicBand, you won't be able to take advantage of the discount on select merchandise and dining when it's available, even if your Disney Visa is the card linked to your reservation. (You will still earn 2% in Disney Rewards Dollars for purchases made using your MagicBand, as long as your Disney Visa is linked to your room account.) My recommendation is that you confirm that your purchase is eligible for the discount and if it is, then use your Disney Visa for your purchase so you can take advantage of the discount. If it's not an eligible purchase, then you're free to use your MagicBand and you can avoid retrieving your card!
Jane, be sure to take advantage of Cardmember-exclusive Character Experiences during your visit. There are exclusive photo opportunities in both
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT that you can access with your Disney Visa!
Come back to see us if you have additional questions. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
