Disney will be retiring complimentary MagicBands for Disney Resort stays for guests checking in beginning January 1, 2021. Those guests will have the option to purchase MagicBands at a discount.

Disney plans to unveil an innovative new offering to the My Disney Experience app. It will bring the MagicBand’s features to your digital device, much like the digital key feature.

Disney Resort hotel guests will be able to use MDE, a Key to the World card, or a MagicBand. They’ll be introducing more colors, designs, and characters in the future.

Guests will still be able to use MagicBands throughout Walt Disney World Resort. They will continue to be sold at WDW and on shopDisney.com.
