Hi there, Teresa, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're headed to the Most Magical Place on Earth this weekend, and I'm so excited you've stopped by with this great question about your visit!
Teresa, you'll be happy to know that you don't need a MagicBand+ to enjoy a visit to Walt Disney World Resort. While a MagicBand+ can make your visit more convenient, there are other options for you to consider. My go-to alternative for a MagicBand+ is Disney MagicMobile Service. This complimentary feature of the
My Disney Experience Mobile App allows you to save your
Disney Theme Park Ticket to the wallet of your smartphone, just like you would with a boarding pass or credit card. Another option is to stop by Guest Relations to pick up a Key to the World Card, which is a physical card you can carry with you. Both of these options allow you to tap in at park entry and Lightning Lanes easily.
If you decide you'd like to purchase a
MagicBand+, you'll love how it allows you to
interact with attractions throughout the parks. MagicBands are generally
reusable, so you can use them each time you visit Walt Disney World Resort. Your MagicBand+ will sync with your My Disney Experience Mobile App, so you can tap it at
Disney PhotoPass locations to see your beautiful snapshots in the photo gallery in your app.
Teresa, I hope this is helpful to you! Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
Happily,
Jennifer
