Hi Linda!
You're going to love MagicBands and all of the things they can do, like get you into each Walt Disney World Resort Theme and Water Park, serve as your Disney Resort Hotel room key, and access any Disney Dining Plan entitlements you may have. But my favorite perk is they allow you to quickly pay for any purchases - from snacks to souvenirs - so you don't have to worry about a wallet or purse all day.
I'm from the South where we monogram everything, but plussing up a MagicBand can be necessary if you have a large party and multiple people have the same color band. There are various degrees of stickers and different types of vinyl, so it really depends on which one you purchase. But, a really cool tip I picked up is to seal whatever you do end up using to your MagicBand with a clear nail polish top coat. Bonus about this method is that the bottle is small enough to fit in your suitcase to make touch-ups during your vacation.
If you'd like to not even worry about losing a few pieces of an intricate design, check out the
themed MagicBands that are available for purchase. There are over 20 designs currently available on ShopDisney.com, but you'll find so many more options once you get to Walt Disney World Resort as there are always new designs, including park-only exclusives. There's even a location at
Disney Springs, D-Tech inside the Marketplace Co-Op, where you can customize over 30 designs to be laser printed on a band while you wait, which will totally skip trying to get a sticker on your band juuuuust right. These bands will work with your current reservations, and any future Disney World vacations, too, as the center pops out to hold any new Magic Puck you will receive.
We'll See You Real Soon, Linda!
