Hi Heather,
Welcome to planDisney! I love that you are about to embark on a multigenerational Disney vacation. Some of my best Disney memories over the past decades are of the times we visited with friends and family across all ages. Everyone feels like a kid at Walt Disney World!
As you mentioned,
MagicBand+ and the
My Disney Experience Mobile App are convenient ways to access everything you need for a full day in the theme parks and beyond. You can tap either for entry to the parks or Lightning Lanes; to open the door of your resort; to charge purchases to your Disney resort account; to link
PhotoPass pictures; and so much more.
I prefer wearing a MagicBand so that I don't have to reach for my phone frequently, and my daughter wouldn't think of using anything other than her phone. There are options for everyone.
If your parents prefer the simplicity of a physical ticket card, no problem! The cards, which are similar in appearance to a gift card or credit card, offer the same easy tap-and-go access. To get a physical ticket card, just pop by any
Guest Relations location or ticket window with your ID. You will be on your way in moments.
Thanks for stopping by with your questions, Heather. Please let us know if we can help in any other way as you plan your vacation with your extended family.
Enjoy every magical moment,
Wilma
