Once you’ve purchased your tickets and made your park reservations, you’ll need to choose the method of park entry that works best for you.

There are 2 main methods of park entry to choose from:

Disney MagicMobile Service
MagicBands

Disney MagicMobile Service is a feature in the My Disney Experience app that allows you to access all sorts of features, including park entry.

MagicBands are worn on your wrist and can be customized to suit your style while also accessing park entry and other features.
