Does my 2 year old need a magic band?

No one needs a MagicBand. The My Disney Experience app also allows most phones to be used as room keys and to hold park tickets for multiple guests. Guests under 3 don't need tickets and thus have basically no use for MagicBands. Every guest age 3 and over needs something that holds their ticket.
