What are the bracelets for at Disneyland?

The MagicBand uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) electromagnetic fields. You link it to your park ticket or Magic Key pass so that the MagicBand can be used for park admission and to redeem Lightning Lanes with Genie+ or other services, such as scanning in for Disability Access Service (DAS).



The bracelets at Disneyland are called MagicBand+, and they serve as an all-in-one wearable "key" to the resort experience. These RFID and Bluetooth-enabled bands link to your Disney account, allowing you to enter the theme parks, check in for Lightning Lane reservations, and link PhotoPass pictures to your account with a simple tap. Unlike the older versions, the MagicBand+ features haptic vibrations and color-changing lights that "glow along" with nighttime spectaculars like World of Color or Happily Ever After. They also unlock interactive games, such as the "Batuu Bounty Hunters" quest in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, where the band vibrates to lead you to hidden targets. For guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel, the band also functions as your room key and a payment method for food and merchandise, allowing for a truly "hands-free" vacation without the need to fumble for wallets or paper tickets.

Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us a question! I have some great news for you: MagicBands really are one size fits all, even little ones!

MORE DETAILS

Disney Bands are given to guests who are either staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel or are an Annual Pass-holder. If you are staying outside of a Walt Disney World Resort you can still buy your band at the park.

MORE DETAILS

If you do not plan to use Genie+, DAS or take many PhotoPass photos, you probably do not need a MagicBand at Disneyland. If you want to play games and see the band light up with entertainment, as well as use it for Lightning Lanes and PhotoPass, then it may be worth it.

MORE DETAILS

The basic, solid color MagicBands come in a variety of colors: pink, blue, red, green, orange, gray, purple, and yellow. You can choose which color you prefer when you order them in your My Disney Experience (MDE) account. (The complimentary service will end with trips in January 2021.)

MagicBands, MagicMobile, Mobile Order — Disney World has a lot of ways to use technology in its parks. Today we'll be talking about MagicMobile, which lets your phone do almost anything your MagicBand, Admission Ticket, or Key to the World Card can do.

MORE DETAILS

You can use your phone. Create a Magic Mobile pass within the My Disney Experience app. As long as you're using your phone to only scan in YOURSELF (meaning not you AND the other members of your party), then it should be fine. It might be slower than using a MagicBand, but it still works.

MORE DETAILS

Can I reuse my MagicBand+, MagicBand or Key to the World card the next time I visit Walt Disney World Resort? A: Yes. If you have a MagicBand+, MagicBand or card that you like, and it is in working condition, you can continue to use it when you return to Walt Disney World Resort.
