As you make your way around the Walt Disney World parks, you may notice some guests wearing colorful bracelets that they use to make purchases, enter Lightning Lanes, and even enter their resort rooms.  These are MagicBands!
As a Disney Resort Hotel guest, you will automatically be given a plastic key card to your room that will also act as your park ticket to enter one of Walt Disney World’s 4 theme parks.  Your hotel concierge can help you link all of that up, if you can’t figure out how to do it in the My Disney Experience app.
But for added convenience, Disney Resort Hotel Guests have the option to purchase MagicBands up to 6 days before arrival at special pre-arrival prices. You can also purchase a MagicBand online at shopDisney or at select merchandise locations at Walt Disney World Resort.
These bracelets are wearable fun!  They light up in sync with certain shows and attractions around the park and are great for easily “tapping” to purchase food and merchandise, charging it to your resort room account.
Added bonus:  you can use these on all future vacations too!  Even if you have the old MagicBand version 1 or 2, as long as they’re still linked to your My Disney Experience profile, they’ll continue to work on future trips to The World.
