Love this! Don’t really want to spend money for a Magic Band with no use away from Disney.

For some reason, i don’t have the add button next to my mobile passes on my phone like you do. Could this be because my Apple Watch is old? Any other reason you can think of?

The only issue I've experienced using the Apple Watch as my MagicBand alone is that Disney does not have it set up yet that the Apple Watch can work to unlock doors like hotel rooms for in-app check-ins and lockers like at the Tron ride. You need a physical card or Magic Band for those to unlock.

Is it possible to mobile order via your Apple Watch also? If so, is there any reason to even bring your phone to the park apart from to take photos?

Do you know if it works with Disney Cruise Line???

For some reason my watch wasn’t working when I tried this at Disney World back in June. It worked on my phone though!

Do I need to setup a password on my Apple Watch to get it to work?

[kurtseiberling]

Would you recommend putting my kids ticket on my Apple Watch or just my own

[platchman]

Could my Apple Watch also scan in my daughters’ and husband’s ticket at the same time as mine while entering the parks and entering the lines for rides?

[levistoys]

Can you open your resort door too or is it purely to get into the parks?

My kids do not have iPhones. Just Apple Watches with cellular. Can they still add the tix to their watch? (No disney app bc no phone). Thx

[cardboardbelt]

Does this also work in Disneyland in California?

QUESTION - I have an Android Phone. But, my galaxy watch does not work as a RFID MagicBand emitter. If I like am Apple Watch to my Samsung s22 will I be able to use the MagicBand function on the Apple Watch? I will not have an iPhone with me. I just need time and MagicBand, maybe Apple Pay wpuld be nice too.

How do I set my Apple Watch for my ticket only if I have the rest of my family’s tickets on my phone and in my wallet?

[sofaki]

Hello! Does it mean I would still have to buy magic bands for the other members of my family? I am « in charge » of the tickets, they are all in my WDW app… Sorry, it will be my first experience there! 😅

Hi there - I have been trying to do this for our upcoming trip and for some reason my husbands tix won't add to his wallet - not receiving an error message - It just won't add. Has this happened to anyone else?

[fjw]

Real headache for me.

My wife has the whole family tickets under her Id.

Managed to get mine into my Apple wallet directly without being able to link it with the magic mobile section in the app. We will see if it works when we go 😂😅
