Questions and answers

Can I reuse my MagicBand+, MagicBand or Key to the World card the next time I visit Walt Disney World Resort?
Yes. If you have a MagicBand+, MagicBand or card that you like, and it is in working condition, you can continue to use it when you return to Walt Disney World Resort. If you have more than one MagicBand+, MagicBand or card, you can manage which ones are active in the MagicBands & Cards section of My Profile or via the My Disney Experience app. Already have a MagicBand+ or MagicBand from a previous visit? You can reuse your current MagicBand+ or MagicBand. Depending on how much time has passed, battery health may degrade and limit your ability to receive Disney PhotoPass attraction videos and select attraction photos with MagicBand. MagicBand+ should be plugged in and charged nightly during your visit—and at least once every 6 months between visits—to maintain a consistent and healthy battery level.
How do I use my MagicBand+?
For many features and services, all you need to do is hold your MagicBand+ against a touch point. It’s that easy! Use it to enter the parks (with valid admission and a park reservation), unlock your Disney Resort hotel room, check in at virtual queue and Lightning Lane entrances and charge food and merchandise purchases to the payment card on file, at your Disney Resort hotel during your stay. MagicBand+ has all of the same features as the original MagicBand.

How do I determine how many meals and snacks I have left on my dining plan?
Your dining plan includes a certain number of meals and snacks per night of your stay. Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during your stay. Unused meals and snacks will roll over day to day and expire at midnight on day of checkout. Meals and snacks are non-transferable. Here are 3 easy ways to track your dining plan meals and snacks: Use the My Disney Experience app. Visit the “My Resort Stay” section, then select “Check Dining Plan” to view the status of your meals and snacks—total issued, already redeemed and still available. Check your most recent dining receipt. Visit your Resort Concierge or any Guest Relations location and ask about your remaining meals and snacks. Learn more about dining plans.
