Passes

when you buy passes through undercover tourist, do you get the band or a paper ticket?

Plastic Keys to the World, like a credit card. Unless you pick the electronic option, then you only get a number emailed to you. Magic Bands only come with Annual Passes and onsite room reservations or can be purchased. They technically have nothing to do with park tickets though. I whole-heartedly recommend UT. We have used them several times for WDW, DLR, and Universal.

They will send you an old style plastic (credit card style) park pass. It will have a number on the back that you can link to your MDE account. Works like a charm.

Thanks, we used them also but not since they started with the bands.

Thanks, we used them also but not since they started with the bands.

As stated above,
MagicBands are not tickets.
So, ticket vendors, even those on-site at WDW, do not offer MagicBands when guests purchase tickets.
When you purchase a ticket from any ticket seller, you get a flat plastic card with an internal RFID chip.

That ticket can assess the park entrance gates (tickets,) FP+ entrances, FP+ kiosks, WDW Resort room door locks, charge purchases to the WDW resort room, access Dining Plans, access theme park parking, and other on-site uses.

MagicBands are just another way to ACCESS all of the above situations.
Guests staying at a WDW resort, will be given MagicBands free-of-charge.
Guests not staying at a WDW resort, can decide to purchase MagicBands if they like.
A standard MB costs $12.95, plus tax.
