Magic Bands and Fast Pass+


Magic Bands replace the card that you have received in the past that is your room key, park pass, Disney Dining Plan and contain the ability to charge to your room. It is a band that you wear around your wrist. This band has all of the information associated with your trip (Park Pass, Fast Pass selections, Photo Pass, etc.) and is access to your room as well as the ability to charge purchases to your room.

There are options that you can opt out of if you choose.

You can also connect any friends or family to your Magic Bands. You will be able to make the same selections for all people in your family and friends so that you can enjoy the same experiences together.

You will have the ability to "customize" your Magic Band. Each person in your party can choose their band color and will have their name on it.

You will receive your Magic Bands prior to your vacation. Do not pack them in your suitcase. Make sure you have them with you so they are available upon arrival.

You’ll be able to reserve an arrival window to access Fast Pass+ attractions and experiences before you leave home, and make changes on your smart phone. You can reserve access to certain attractions, shows, parades, fireworks and Character Greetings!

You are assigned an arrival window for each attraction you select. Show up any time that you wish during this window. While attractions usually offer a one-hour arrival window, other experiences like shows and parades may require you to arrive during a more specific timeframe.

Depending on availability, you will be able to make up to 3 Fast Pass+ selections for attractions and entertainment each day at one theme park.

You can modify your selections online with your mobile phone (My Disney Experience app) or at a Fast Pass+ kiosk.

I recommend you make your selections earlier rather than later as some selections may not be available at the last minute.

When making your selections, select attractions that are most popular. You don't want to use a selection for something that will not have long wait times anyway, especially since you are limited to 3 selections a day.
