Hi Jennifer,
My family loves the convenience of using our
MagicBands to pay for everything during our Walt Disney World vacations, from a Mickey bar or a box of popcorn at a kiosk to souvenirs to a meal in a signature dining restaurant. It's so easy to have all the costs go onto a single bill at the end of your stay. Our daughters are older and often go off on their own for parts of the day, and I don't have to worry about making sure they have enough money for drinks and snacks.
There's no additional fee to use the MagicBand charging privilege.
I do recommend having a small amount of cash on hand. I usually have $10 or $20 with me, just in case I need it, but I seldom do.
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jennifer. Please let us know if you have any other last-minute questions. Enjoy your
Walt Disney World vacation with your family!
Wilma
