Magical Accommodations: Magic Bands and the Disability Access Service Card

Disney Parks are currently in the testing phase of their new MagicBands. A MagicBand is issued to guests that are staying at the Disney Resorts or if you are an Annual Passholder.

They are armbands that have your entire Disney vacation programmed into them including your park tickets, your room keys, your FastPass+ times, dining reservations, your credit card (if you choose to pay this way), and many more new features. On a recent trip to Walt Disney World, my family had the opportunity to test the Magic Band along with the Disability Access Service Card. Read more
