Magic Bands Payment

[noahdove]

How do you pay for out of pocket meals with your Magic Band?
Is there a swipe/tap machine? Just sitting thinking about eating and
this question came to mind.

They bring out a "tap" machine.

First you have to be staying at a Disney resort, and have charging set up on your resort account. When you get the bill at the restaurant, tell them you're charging to your account and tap your MB to the machine. You'll also need to enter your PIN.

If it still holds true, there are some side carts that don't have that capability and you'll need cash for those.

It's actually pretty neat - they bring a little handheld band scanner to the table to scan your band and the little machine has a key pad so you can enter your PIN number for the charge.

Thank you all. Will I set a pin number up when I get the bands?

You set the PIN number when you either do online check in or at check in if you choose not to do it online.

How does it work with using DDP for the meal and the charge to the room for tips? I have always had an envelope with cash I am thinking about trying it the other way this year on our long holiday.

You should be able to set your pin as soon as you have a reservation loaded to the MDE system. My Profile > Payment Methods > PIN Settings

 

[noahdove]

Thank you, I will do that now.

You tell them you are using your credits for the meal & charge the tips to your room account.

I thought this too until last time when I bought a balloon on Main St and they sent me to another place to charge my band and to bring back the receipt to get the balloon.

If there are multiple adults on one reservation, can we each link a DIFFERENT credit card to our own Magic Band so that we can each use our own band to purchase individual items?
