MagicBands allow you to engage with Disney World in a way that makes travel easy! With a simple tap to a touch point, you can enter your Disney Resort room, Disney Theme Park, redeem Lightning Lane selections, & much more! If you are looking for reasons to purchase a Disney World MagicBand, we can give you many!
Why Buy a Disney MagicBand?
MagicBands are waterproof wristbands that allow you to use various touch point sensors throughout Disney World parks and resorts.
Here are ways you can use them while on vacation:
- Tap the sensor to your Disney Resort door to enable a keyless entry system.
- Pay for meals & snacks at a Disney Resort when you connect your payment method to your My Disney Experience app.
- Use the Magicband as a Disney Resort ticket. Simply touch the band to the sensor at the gate to enter!
- Redeem Lightning Lane selections throughout your Disney park visit.
- Connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account with the touch of the band from a Disney photographer or ride picture kiosk.
More Reasons to buy a Disney MagicBand
If you are going to the park for a special celebration (like a birthday) or your favorite holiday, a specialty MagicBand is a great way to showcase a special occasion.
If you want to use it as an accessory to your Disney-themed outfit or show off your favorite Disney character, why not wear them on your wrist?
If you want a special souvenir you can use at the Disney Parks each time you go for years to come! These bands will last you for several trips to the park, so your one time purchase will get you years of enjoyment.

I am planning a trip for April and we will stay off property. On our last trip we stayed at Art of Animation so we did have Magic bands. This time I will purchase them as they have become part of the fun of a Disney vacation. I'm pretty sure you don't need them to reserve fast passes 30 days in advance though- you just do that through the MDE page- but they will scan your ban when you go through the fast pass line..

If you still have your MagicBands from your last trip, you can use those over & over. Just relink them to your tickets in your My Disney Experience account. You can also make your FastPass choices, like your said, 30 days out.

We are staying off Disney property and would like to purchase magic bands. I am wondering if I can link Disney gift cards to them to pay for food and such.

No, you cannot link a gift card to MagicBands. Sure wish you could!
