Tickets on MDE do I need hard copies?

[maggieb9975]

I bought tickets from Disney online and they are already attached on my MDE room only reservation. So are they already on magic band? I bought them as will call. Do I still need to pick them up at park?

Thanks!

If the tickets are attached to your MDE, they are attached to your MB.

(There are no tickets "on" a MagicBand, just in MBE.)**

Although it will not be "required" for you to pick up ticket cards,
it would not be a bad idea to go ahead and get them, just in case
of a problem with the MB.


**Just to keep things as clear as possible-

There is no reservation info, or ticket info, or credit card info,
or FP+ info "put onto" a MagicBand.

The MagicBands just contain a unique serial number that is used
to access the information that is stored in your MyDisneyExperience computer file.

So, even if you were to lose a MagicBand, the info stays locked in your file.
Disney can just set up a new band (different serial number)
to access the info in your MDE file.
Disney can also issue ADDITIONAL MB's to a guest and each
additional band can be used for the same purposes as the first band.
So, yes, there can be multiple MB's per person, and each of them can be used by that person.

The MagicBand works like the combination to a locked safe, or a key to a locked door.

Why does this distinction matter?
Because there is so much fear about losing bands and,
in turn, losing all of a guest's information thought to be on the band.

The MB, itself, is not the file of info or the container of the info.
The MB just unlocks the file of info, allowing it to be accessed from your MDE account when needed.

So I have annual passes that I purchased over the phone with DVC and linked to my MDE..I haven't activated them yet...Do I not have to go to guest services first or can I just enter the park after check in at resort using Magic bands?

You have to go to guest services with your member card and ID for all adults with the same address.
