MagicBands and cards are secure all-in-one devices that allow you to effortlessly access the plans and vacation choices that you’ve made with My Disney Experience.

MagicBands are colorful, waterproof wristbands—resembling a watch or bracelet—that you can quickly and easily touch to a sensor called a touch point. Cards work in a similar fashion, but physically resemble a plastic credit card or driver’s license. Both MagicBands and cards allow you to travel lighter throughout your vacation.

• Unlock the door of your Disney Resort hotel room.
• Enter theme and water parks (with valid admission).
• Check in at FastPass+ entrances.
• Connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account.
• Charge food and merchandise purchases to your Disney Resort hotel room (only available during your hotel stay).

• Add a touch of magic to your vacation by unlocking special surprises, personalized just for you, throughout the Walt Disney World Resort!

You will automatically receive a MagicBand if you stay at a Disney Resort hotel or if you are a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder. If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel and are not a Passholder, you will receive a card when you purchase tickets for park admission.

Once your MagicBands or cards have been linked to your My Disney Experience account, they can be used interchangeably.

In addition, Guests can purchase MagicBands online, from the shopDisney app, or at select Walt Disney World shops and at other retail locations. Some special offers can even include limited-edition MagicBands, which may trigger enchanting surprises—like light and sound effects—when you use them at a touch point.

MagicBand orders cannot be shipped to all countries.

Now you can choose MagicBand colors and characters that make it more fun than ever before! Premium MagicBands offer popular designs featuring some of the world’s best-loved Disney friends, from Mickey Mouse to Super Heroes and beyond. Or, show your true colors with complimentary MagicBand options in 8 solid hues: pink, red, purple, orange, yellow, green, blue and gray. Pick a different look for each family member or style the gang with matching MagicBands for all—the choice is yours!

Disney Resort hotel Guests and Walt Disney World Passholders can place their MagicBand order by taking the following steps:

1. Create or sign into your Disney account.
2. Link your reservation or annual pass to your Disney account. Your pass may have been linked automatically when you purchased it on disneyworld.com.
3. If you are an Annual Passholder, activate your pass at any Walt Disney World theme park ticket window or Disney Springs Guest Relations location. Please bring your exchange certificate and a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. Once your pass is activated upon first admittance into the theme parks, your MagicBand order will display in your My Disney Experience account.
4. To order your MagicBands at pre-arrival prices, visit My MagicBands and Cards. Remember to place your order at least 11 days before your arrival if you would like your MagicBands shipped to your home and at least 6 days before your arrival to have them shipped to your Resort hotel.

For additional options, Guests can purchase MagicBands at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. in Magic Kingdom park and customize with various image and color combinations.

If you purchase a MagicBand at a Walt Disney World theme park or Disney Springs, please follow these steps to link it to your Disney account:

1. Create or sign into your Disney account.
2. Link your MagicBand to your Disney account.

If you are taking advantage of Disney's Magical Express, our complimentary motorcoach service from Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort hotel, please remember NOT to pack your MagicBands in your checked luggage. Instead, keep them with you and easily accessible, since they will be used to check in with Disney's Magical Express—and to unlock your room when you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel!
