Hi there, Chris, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you're here today with this great question about your upcoming vacation! October is such a fun time to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth, and I just know you're going to have an absolute blast!
Chris, it's great that you're thinking ahead about your MagicBands and which members of your party will benefit from wearing one. Each
MagicBand will be linked to one Guest and cannot be transferred to another person once it is linked. So, your MagicBand will be linked to your
MyDisney Account, which will give you access to your
Disney Theme Park tickets, allow you to unlock your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door, purchase items with the credit card you have on file, use meals and snacks from your dining plan, and more. If you’re traveling with a little one who might not yet be ready for a MagicBand, you can use
Disney MagicMobile Service, which allows you to download your child’s ticket to the wallet on your smartphone. You’ll tap your smartphone at the tapstiles for park entry just like you would with a MagicBand. I actually use MagicMobile for my kiddos even when they do wear a MagicBand, just in case they decide to take it off or misplace it at some point during our vacation.
Wearing a MagicBand+ during my time at Walt Disney World Resort has been so much fun! The interactive experiences, fun lights, awesome designs, and especially the convenience it offers make it the perfect Disney accessory. I do recommend that each member of your party has a MagicBand+ so that you can take advantage of all of the great features!
Chris, I hope this is helpful to you as you continue to prepare for your visit. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
