MagicBands & RFI Cards

magicband

In order to deliver MyMagic+, Disney utilizes radio frequency technology ­enabled cards and MagicBands (“RF Devices”). Depending on the MyMagic+ benefits you have purchased, you and each member of your Party will be issued one or more unique RF Device(s), which allow us to authenticate the individual using an RF Device and the benefits associated with that individual.

Your RF Device may be used in one or more of the following ways: for entry to the parks (valid admission required), for guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, to access your room, for redemption of your Disney FastPass+ selections; and for activating your Memory Maker entitlements. In addition, as described in the “Online Check­in Service” section of these Terms, guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels will have the option to use their RF Device to make purchases at various dining, retail and other select locations throughout the Resort.

Each MagicBand contains an HF radio frequency device and a transmitter which sends and receives RF signals through a small antenna inside the MagicBand. Each RF Card contains a passive HF radio frequency chip. Some of your benefits will be unlocked by “touching” your MagicBand or card to short­range reader touch points located at the Resort, including access to your Disney Resort hotel room, entry to a Disney theme park or making purchases at select Resort locations.

For security purposes, you may also be required to provide additional authentication information to enable certain functions, such as a biometric read or PIN. The MagicBands can also be read by long­range readers placed in select locations throughout the Resort used to deliver personalized experiences and photos, as well as provide information that helps Disney improve the overall experience in their parks.

Guests can participate in MyMagic+ and visit the Resort without using the MagicBand by choosing an RF Card, which cannot be detected by the long­range readers; however, certain features of MyMagic+ are dependent upon long­range readers, including automatic delivery of certain attraction photos and some personalized offerings are only available to guests using a MagicBand.

If you have a medical device and have questions about your medical device and RF technology, we encourage you to seek the guidance of the manufacturer of your device and your physician.  RF Devices are not transferable. If your RF Device includes park admission entitlements, it is a non­transferrable ticket and must be used by the same person on all days.

Each RF Device linked to your Site/App account or linked to a Managed Friend by you may be used to access certain other entitlements also linked to your Site/App account or linked to a Managed Friend by you, such as park admission, FastPass+ selections and touch to pay (if available). You are responsible for keeping your RF Devices safe and secure.  Disney is not responsible for any unauthorized use of RF Devices. If your RF Device is lost or stolen, call  for assistance at (407) 939­4357.

MagicBands are intended for use in the United States only.
