Magic Bands Part 2

If you have not been to Disney in some time, they have done away with "Key to the World" and are now replaced by Magicbands. It still contains the same information as your Key to the World except it is a band around your wrist. 
Prior to your visit, you can customize your Magicband by choosing your color and having your name printed on the inside of your band. Once you get to Disney you can purchase accessories for your band. They have charms, slider charms and slip covers. 
Your Magicband is your room key, park pass, Dining Plan, Photo Pass (Memory Maker) and you can link a credit card to make purchases in the park to charge against your room.
I loved the Magicband! No fear that I was going to lose a card and no more fumbling through your things to find a card. It's on your wrist. It was so easy! And no worries that someone could just use yours. You set up a PIN that is associated with your band and must use the PIN if you are using it for anything monetary. And to get into the parks, on the first day you use your finger print and have to use the same finger each time you enter a park.
Also the band is waterproof.
And the off chance that you have an allergic reaction, you can get a card instead. 

With the Magicband you can make Fastpass selections prior to even getting to Disney! You are allowed 3 per day. And after you use those 3 you can go to a kiosk and make another selection, which is a rolling selection. What this means is once you utilize the rolling selection then you can make another and so on. 
You will want to download the app My Disney Experience**. You can make changes on the go to your Fastpass selections. If you are unable to download the app, you can go to a kiosk to change your selections.
I found it very easy to make changes to selections. 

**My Disney Experience is a very helpful app to have while you are in Disney. It provides up-to-date wait times for rides, show times, park hours, etc.
