MyMagic+

By Magic Maker® Brenda Wenk

Whether you are planning your first trip to Walt Disney World® Resort or have visited this magical place numerous times, there are exciting changes to the guest experience taking place! MyMagic+ is the latest move to enhance your experience at Walt Disney World® Resort. This initiative has been in the works for several years at a very high cost and has been rolled out in stages during the last year. Let’s take a look at what is involved in MyMagic+!

My Disney Experience (MDE) is step one. Your Magic Maker@ will take care of this for you.   We will set up an online account that will keep track of your resort reservation, the members of your travel party, your dining reservations, your FastPass+ bookings, credit card information and other vacation details. You are welcome to ask for your user name and password at any time. We do ask that you not set up your own account as this may muddy the water and cause a mix up in reservations. (Please inform your Magic Maker® if you have set up a My Disney Experience account previously.)

Step Two is to select MagicBand colors from red, blue, green, orange, pink, yellow or grey and the name you wish printed on the inside of the band. Once again, we will order these for you and they will ship directly to your home.   This band is truly magical! It serves as your park ticket, room key, charge card, FastPass+ return ticket, Disney PhotoPass® and stores all your dining and other reservation information! No more digging for your ticket after going through security or fumbling for your Key to the World card to enter your resort room! Grabbing a bottle of water – just scan your band, enter your pin code and you are on your way to the next event! There are numerous safety features in place that prevent the use of your band by someone else if it is lost. It is actually more secure than using your credit card.

You may be wondering just what is FastPass+? This replaces the need to rush from ride to ride with tickets in hand to grab paper FastPasses for particular attractions. Your Magic Maker® will be able to book three FastPass+ selections for each guest in your party in one park per day of your stay! After using your three selections for the day, you may get another FastPass+ selection in the park you are currently visiting or you may Park Hop and get a FastPass+ selection in another.   After using that pass, you may get another and then another. This new opportunity will be available at designated kiosks in each park and is subject to availability for each ride and attraction.

With most of us carrying a smart phone, a mobile app called MDE is available for download to your mobile device. You will be able to check your reservations at a glance and change your FastPass+ selections on the go! Off to Neverland Travel® continues to use our own Itinerary Planner that we will invite you to download prior to your travel. Guest feedback indicates that our app is much more user friendly than MDE. Feel free to use both.

Confused by MyMagic+? No worries – you have your Off to Neverland Travel® Magic Maker® available to answer any and all questions! Strap on your Magic Band, touch and go!
