Can we talk MagicBands and BOG? Not together of course.
Once we receive our complimentary tickets to WDW at GKTW, can we link them to a MagicBand like a regular ticket? Now that MagicBands can be bought at the
Disney Store and can be used with offsite tickets I really like the idea of not having to mess with pulling out a paper ticket. One less thing for me to lose!
yes. when you get your tickets (plastic cards, have rfid chip in it like the magic band) you can enter the code to tie each card to a magicband and not have to carry the cards on you anymore. might want to the first day just to get into the parks.
also keep an eye that you attatch the right card to the right person if adding the card after you enter the parks, as i accidently added fiancee's card to grandpa's magicband
that was a fun mistake lol.
for the BOG one i would call dining reservations and ask them? they might be able to work some magic. when we actually got our dates, it was almost too late to get dinner reservations anywhere due to other people booking 90 days out while we had around 30 days. then the day of our one reservation, we decided to invite my cousin who lives in the area to eat with us. queue me spending a half hour on the phone on a disney bus (we choose to take the bus since it calms child and puts him to sleep
) trying to change our reservation to add one more adult. at first they could not do it, but was advised to call back in a few hours to see if there are any cancellations. they were able to add him, but we had to push our reservation time back an hour to accommodate the party size.
This might have been answered before so please forgive me. I looked but this actual question didn't seem to be anywhere. I was wondering if the tickets for Universal Studios and Island Adventure from MAW include The Hogwarts Express Train ride between the two parks?
you CAN! the only thing required to ride the train is admission to both parks. either having a hopper (GKTW tickets are) or buying a ticket/adding hopper before being allowed to board the train.
if your kids (or anyone in your party....) likes harry potter and spell casting, id reccomend buying one of the interactive wands. my entire party had fun playing with it. my wish child (4) only had trouble with like 2 spells and a cast member walked up behind him to do the spell for him without him noticing since he had troubles. the look on his face was proceless!
also remember that to get your universal tickets they will be at the willcall area, and you need to use a credit card with your name on it to verify who you are, and need the phone number for the reservation (on the paperwork GKTW gives you at orientation in the universial envelope), and we had a prepaid credit card (debit i think is the right term for it?) that actually has my name on it so i just used that.
ps: i know my trip report is not done. have been busy. getting back the night before thanksgiving, then the holiday rish. then gettnig sick. and the whole house passing sickness back and forth is no fun. now im trying to find quiet time to finish writing it and message the mods to move it to the right area.
