Welcome to
planDisney, Tiffany! I see that you're busy planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort with your family in August! Thanks for sending us your question.
I'm happy to report that your whole party does not need a MagicBand to enter the theme parks. If you have one from a previous visit, you may use it again, as long as there is a valid theme park ticket linked to it on your
MyDisney account.
Before your visit, you can purchase a new MagicBand+ for your kids
online. Once you arrive at the resort you can also find them at your Disney hotel gift shop or at any of the four theme parks. There are so many fun styles!
For anyone in your group not using a MagicBand, you may create a
Disney MagicMobile pass. This service allows you to create a digital theme park ticket on your My Disney Experience app. You can also create a digital ticket to add to your Apple phone, iWatch or android phone.
Tiffany, I hope I've been helpful. Please don't hesitate to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always
our pleasure to help you with all the details of your next vacation!
Veronica
