Hello, Kristin!
I agree 100%!
MagicBands are definitely the way to go when touring the theme parks! Not only can you just touch your MagicBand to the Mickey touch points for theme park admission, but you don't have to worry about keeping up with
Disney's PhotoPass Service cards or paper FastPasses! You absolutely can purchase a MagicBand to use during your upcoming vacation! There are some exclusive MagicBands available in the
Shop Disney Parks mobile app. You can even have them delivered to your home, and link them to your
My Disney Experience account, so you are ready to make
FastPass+ selections at the 30-day mark.
