Magic Bands are wearable devices from Disney that offer convenience and entertainment features at Disney theme parks and resorts. They can be used to open hotel room doors, enter the parks, make purchases, and even interact with characters. On Disney cruises, Magic Bands provide similar functionality, allowing guests to board the ship, access their staterooms, and make on-board purchases.
Magic Bands were first introduced at Walt Disney World in 2013 and have since become ubiquitous at all Disney parks and resorts. They have proven to be a popular way for guests to enhance their Disney experience, and their use on Disney cruises is a natural extension of their functionality.
