MagicBands, part of the MyMagic+ experience, are the new key to Disney World (and your Resort). In fact, your MagicBand is your ticket to the parks and entrance to Disney World Resort hotel rooms. Also, as easily as a tap use to buy food, merchandise and redeem Fastpass+ selections – all through your MagicBand.
The above picture shows how easy it is to use your MagicBand. Simply touch sensor (Mickey Head on MagicBand) to sensor.
