When Zoe turns three, I suspect our first approach will be for one of us to wear two MagicBands (our own and Zoe’s) and the other person to carry a spare Key to the World card in case they wind up alone with Zoe. Or you could skip the band for them altogether and just use a Key to the World card. The core piece of the band is also removable and can be placed in specially designed keychains, too.

You could get them a MagicBand and hold it yourself most of the time. That can be a hassle, and there’s a risk of them losing it. If your kid wears their own MagicBand, you’ll need to tap it at the tap point to get into the park and at rides when using the Lightning Lane. MagicBands can get quite small (the band has a removable portion that shortens it, too), and anyone older than an infant could theoretically wear them. We strongly recommend against the My Disney Experience app’s MagicMobile service for this and instead recommend every guest have either a Key to the World card or a MagicBand.Īs for kids and MagicBands specifically, it’s all up to you. Every guest age 3 and over needs something that holds their ticket. Guests under 3 don’t need tickets and thus have basically no use for MagicBands. The My Disney Experience app also allows most phones to be used as room keys and to hold park tickets for multiple guests. The entire functionality of the band can be put on a plastic Key to the World card that you can get from Guest Services or your hotel. They can also be used to charge things to your room (again, at Disney hotels).

MagicBands are wristbands that function as a park ticket and room key (as Disney hotels) during your Disney World ticket. No one needs a MagicBand, but if your child is 3 or over you’ll need something that stores their ticket. Let’s close with a few other notes that don’t need their own categories, but aren’t any less important. Other Things to Know About Visiting with a Toddler
