Hello again, Joanne! I’m so happy to answer another Walt Disney World question.
Two is the magic number at the Most Magical Place on Earth and yes, it will be absolutely fine for one of you to have a
Disney Band (as we call them here in the UK) while the other Guest opts not to use one. Although they are not necessary for your visit, I must admit, I often find myself tempted by their cool new designs - they’re just too cute to resist! But I digress, Joanne! The good news is that Disney offers other great options for seamless access and convenience during your trip.
Disney MagicMobile Service is a fantastic alternative that provides all the same features without needing a physical band on your wrist. With MagicMobile, you can use your smartphone to access everything you need during your stay. Setting it up is easy and can be done through the My Disney Experience app. Once set up, MagicMobile will allow you to do everything a Disney Band can do, such as:
Entering Disney Parks and Your Resort Room: MagicMobile lets you tap into the parks and enter your Disney Resort hotel room by holding your phone near the touchpoint, and you’re good to go! This makes it super convenient, as most of us always have our phones with us anyway.
Charging Purchases to Your Room: If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can use MagicMobile to charge food, merchandise, and more directly to your room account. It’s a great way to keep your wallet light and your hands-free to carry all those magical souvenirs!
Linking Disney PhotoPass Photos: Memory Maker is included with UK Magic Tickets, and you can link your PhotoPass photos directly to your account using the same simple tap method.
Access to
Virtual Queues: MagicMobile also allows you to tap into any virtual queue selections you’ve made in the My Disney Experience app.
MagicMobile can even work through some smartwatches! So you may enjoy all the convenience of a Disney Band through your everyday device.
I hope this helps put your mind at ease, Joanne. Whether you’re sporting a Disney Band or using MagicMobile, everyone has access to a magical and seamless experience. If you have any more questions or need more tips, feel free to ask. We’re always here at
planDisney, ready to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your planning!
Have a magical day and enjoy every moment of your adventure!
