Do MagicBands open hotel room?

Depending on your Disney destination, MagicBands are tools to unlock many features of a high-tech vacation experience while on-site. For example, guests may be able to use them as a room key for on-property resort hotel rooms, to charge purchases, to scan into theme park entrances and Lightning Lanes, and much more.

If you stay at the Disney hotel often or visit the parks regularly — for example, if you're a Magic Key or Annual Pass holder — a MagicBand might be worth it. Families with young children also might find MagicBands convenient.

What is this? Magic Bands were provided to every guest staying at a Walt Disney World resort hotel at no additional charge through the end of 2020. Starting in 2021, guests can purchase a Magic Band if they want to use one during their stay. So unfortunately, Magic Bands are no longer free.

RECEIVING YOUR MAGICBAND 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.

What is this? Disney World Annual Passholders also no longer receive complimentary MagicBands. Instead, MagicBands are available 20%-50% off in the annual passholder's My Disney Experience account after the annual pass purchase and each renewal period.

If your MagicBands are still useable, all you need to do to reuse them is to make sure your new Walt Disney World theme park tickets and reservations are linked to the same My Disney Experience account that your MagicBands are on.

MORE DETAILS

That being said, a MagicBand can only be linked to one ticket or pass at a time. If not everyone in the group has a MagicBand, the people without a band can use their phones instead. You can, however, link more than one MagicBand to a particular pass or ticket.

Does my toddler need a MagicBand? If your toddler is under three they do not need a ticket and therefore do not need a MagicBand. Children 3 and over will need tickets, park reservations and their own LL/Genie+ reservations, so a MagicBand would be useful, but is not necessary. See below for other options.
