Is there any value in purchasing MagicBands for our March trip? We always stay offsite, FastPass is a thing of the past, I will use my phone or credit card to pay for food, tickets are being mailed to us .... is there anything I am missing? Thanks!
 
A very, very few on-ride photos and/or videos are accessed by having a MB.
 
I think it’s just a matter of preference or convenience. I like not having to carry a credit card, tickets or a room key. I know the MDE app does allow us to use our phone as a key but it’s still more convenient to just swipe a band. And the MDE doesn’t have any other functionality other than the key yet. You can’t use it as a ticket or to purchase anything. I like having a cc linked to our bands so that my whole family is using the same cc when we make purchases (I get rewards points). And honestly, my kids like having them. It makes them feel more “Disney”, lol.
 

Thanks everyone! I thought about getting them just for the kids. Less for them to fumble with at the gate.

I am all new to WDW and MB. I read somewhere else on these boards that MB only allows you to charge to your onsite room. Are you saying I can link a credit card to a MB? Can I also link a Disney gift card to them also?

1. I read somewhere else on these boards that MB only allows you to charge to your onsite room.
2. Are you saying I can link a credit card to a MB?

1. Correct.
2. You can link the CC to your on-site ROOM for various WDW charges,
and the MB can charge purchases back to that room.
3. Sorry, but no.
