Looky Looky what I got today!! Finally we got our Walt Disney World Annual Passholder Magic Bands! If you’ve stayed at a WDW resort in the last 6 months you undoubtably already have a set of these lovelies – I have 4 sets. Beginning March 1, Disney began allowing Passholders to customize the color/name on their bands, and began shipping earlier this week. The package includes the beautiful Passholder Box, personalized bands, a new Passholder discount card, and a special Passholder 2014 Slider. Behold….
MagicBands go hand and hand with FastPass+ and are equipped with RFID technology that allows Walt Disney World guests to tap their bands “Mickey to Mickey” everywhere from park entry, at any register to pay for any item, and to access resort rooms (we said good bye to room keys AKA Keys to the World late last year). It’s also how you check in for ride, show, parade, fireworks, and other attraction reservations.
MyMagic+ is ever evolving since it began more than a year ago. The full roll out and future plans are expected to be announced later in the Spring at a press event surrounding the opening of The Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train. Walt Disney Worlds newest “Mountain” since Expedition Everest opened in 2006.
