Yes. Just like magic lol when they take your photo they scan your magic band thats attached to your MDE account like wise if on 7 dwarfs mine train it recognises you were on the ride and the photos just appear. You can then access and download them via the app or tablet and save them or wait till you get home and download them onto your laptop or computer or of course you can download them onto all 3 its up to you! Its fab!

Each time you get your photo taken they with the photopass photographers they scan your wrist (if you don't have a magic band you would have a photo pas card and would need to have it scanned.) When your using a FP they scan your magic band or entering a park. You would have your park ticket in and out your bag or wherever you keep the ticket if you don't have a band. We bought one last year and I will definitely be buying a new ones this year. SO so handy!

Its really up to you. You could buy one which you could then use each time you get a photo taken but might easier to get all one if you plan on using lots of Fast passes because each time you use a fast pass you need to scan your ticket or magic band which means you will pulling out park tickets everytime. We just got the cheapest type magic bands there are ones that have Disney characters and designs on them that are more expensive. The cheapest are around $12.99 plus tax. You can get them at the Disney shop at the airport when you arrive, at Disney Springs or in a Disney Park. If you are staying at a Disney hotel you all get given a Magic Band for free and it also acts as your room key.

if you thinking about band for all 4 people consider booking 1 night at the camp site and get the bands plus days of parking. if may work out cheaper plus you get 60day booking for fp.

Ok that's not so bad tbh didn't realise they were as low priced aa that, not sure what I was looking at when i did.
I might just get them then, seems we will miss out on the quirky pics if we don't xx

I have looked at the camp but don't know how that would work. We are booked to stay off site

[t2ggergal]

Would i have time to buy one from the airport if i'm on a coach transfer?

You don't actually have to stay at the camp. Just get there in the morning, check-in, pick up your MagicBands, and then go.

It's just that the cost of a night onsite might cost less than the cost of MagicBands for everyone and two days parking at the parks. Plus, as mentioned earlier, you can book fastpasses 60 days beforehand rather than 30 days.

Probably. You just have to head to the Disney EARport store at the airport, choose a MagicBand you like there, pay for it, and then head to wherever you're getting your coach transfer from. I guess it might take an extra 5 or 10 minutes?

I suppose it sort of depends on how well you know Orlando Intl airport and how delayed you are in getting off the plane, going through immigration, and picking up your suitcases.

It made us laugh when we were there a couple of weeks ago, you had all these Magical things happening at Disney through the Magic Bands, 7DMT video, IASW names, Everest posters and so on. We then rode E.T. Adventure at Universal again and "Spielsberg's Assistant" is still frantically typing our names before we go in just so E.T. can say our name, how times have changed.

We are past 30 days now x I had a quick look last night but it didn't come up with any options so not sure if too short notice or server not working properly. Will try look again later thanku!

I take it if i have linked tickets.. i can still link bands? Will it all just connect up together by itself... like magic ?
