Tickets at Work and Magic Bands

[RHSTigerMom]

We are going to WDW for the Princess HM in February and received a booklet that says we are eligible for Magic Bands. I am buying park passes via Tickets at Work (5 day PH for price of a 3 day). Options for delivery are email or shipping/hotel pickup. How do they get converted to Magic Bands so I can use FP+, etc? Thanks in advance.

They don't "get converted to MagicBands."

But, you need to "link" the tickets to your MyDisneyExperince account so that
the MB can access the info.

You need the ticket numbers to put into your MDE account.
If T@W will ship the tickets TO YOU, you can add their numbers to MDE and start
making FP+ selections up top 60 days in advance of check-in.

Did this work out for you? Curious because we are on the fence about purchasing from tickets at work...just got an e-mail this am. Please let me know...thanks

I did this last year. Purchased 5-day hoppers for the price of 3-day hoppers from Tickets at Work. When I received the tickets I added the ticket info to MDE and linked. It was very easy and I had no problems. Good luck!

Same here. I took the confirmation number from the email and entered into the MDE site I then indicated which guests should be linked to the tickets (I had three). The only hiccup I had was one of the ladies going created her own MDE profile so I could not see where her ticket was linked because she did not share her profile with me. I called Disney and they shared her profile with mine so I can now see all three.

Am I missing something about T@W? I just signed on to my corporate account and the 3 day hopper with 2 "free" days is 329.00 + 22.39 tax and fee = 351.39.

The same ticket (5 day hopper) on UCT through the Mouse Savers link is 341.87, tax included free shipping.

Are you guys getting better prices from T@W than that?

 

[cschaaf]

ses1230, those are the same prices I see for the 5-day w Hopper:

• UCT w/ MouseSavers discount = 341.87
• UCT w/out discount = 349.95
• Tickets @ Work = 351.39

I think it depends what tickets you want and when - I'm pricing out 10 day non-expire and I get a cheaper price on t@w for the park hopper, but if I want the water parks option UT is cheaper.

Hello everyone,

We're in the same boat of trying to figure out if T@W is worth it, and their relationship to magic bands. From reading this thread here's my understanding of the situation: once T@W sends us the tickets, we link the confirmation number to the MDE app. From there we can set up our FP+ rezzies and ADR. Now to link all that up to magic bands, do we need to buy the bands ourselves once we get to wdw, like one would do if they had an individual ticket? Am I close to the mark on this? Thanks!

You are correct about linking the confirmation number to MDE, however, we stayed on property so we had the Magic Bands. I'm not sure how it would work otherwise.

You don't need tickets, or even a resort reservation, to make ADRs.

The onsite perk with ADRs is that at 180 days from arrival you can book ADRs for your length of stay, up to 10 days. That is what is meant by 180+10.

Those not staying onsite can book reservations 180 days from the date they want to dine.

For Magic Bands, if you are staying onsite you will have the option to customize them in MDE.

Great! Thank you all for the info - we just booked our onsite hotel and customized our bands so I see that linking T@W tix with MDE/Magic Bands won't be a problem. For a veteran tourist to wdw, this is all so new and exciting!
