Do all guests need MagicBands?

You are not required to purchase new bands for each stay. If you have older MagicBands, Disney encourages you to bring those with you. Alternatively, if you don't have a MagicBand and don't want to purchase one, you may get a Key to the World card at your resort and use that to unlock your door and enter your room.
