They can serve as room keys, payment methods, entry tickets, be used to check-in for Lightning Lanes, connect with Photopass, and react to select Disney theme park attractions with “lighting effects and gesture recognition”, and they’re available in a slew of cool designs!

Now, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders have exclusive access to some big MagicBand perks.
Disney Annual Passholders can purchase one MagicBand+ per Annual Pass pre-arrival via MyDisneyExperience, and receive:
- Free shipping
- Free personalization
- A custom shipping box, which, according to Disney, can be used for a fun unboxing moment.
- The purchased band will be automatically linked to My Disney Experience!
- Those are some pretty big perks for APs, especially since MagicBands can be a bit pricey these days – basic bands go for around $35, more decorated bands with character or park iconography go for around $45, and limited/anniversary celebration bands are priced at $50 and up – and MagicBands are no longer included free with vacation packages.
