Hi Debbie! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm happy to hear that you are planning a trip to the
Walt Disney World Resort! Traveling with a large group comes with plenty of perks, including creating magical memories together as a family. Let's jump right into your question and help you get set for an unforgettable stay.
MagicBands and
MagicBand+ are the perfect accessory for any park day. They have countless uses, including utilizing them for park entry, Lightning Lane access, as your room key at your Disney Resort hotel, and even for purchases across the parks and resorts. They come in a variety of colors, themes, and designs, including many of them being modeled after your favorite Disney characters. You'll mostly find just the MagicBand+ when purchasing online or in person, which comes with additional features from the original model. These bands light up and vibrate during different experiences as you explore the parks. They are especially active during certain performances, such as during Happily Ever After and Luminous The Symphony of Us.
Every Guest listed on your resort reservations should be eligible to purchase a MagicBand at the pre-arrival price. These bands are discounted if purchased in advance using your
My Disney Experience account. If you are having trouble viewing who is eligible, I would first reach out to the travel agent who booked your stay. They may need to check to make sure the information was input correctly and allows you to follow through with the process. Otherwise, you can
call the App and MagicBand Support line to speak with a Cast Member. They will be able to review your account and identify the current issue. Once this is figured out, you should be able to choose from a MagicBand+ for each member of your party.
Debbie, I hope you have a magical time during your vacation!
