The MyMagic+ guest experience has hit a milestone: 10 million MagicBands have tapped their way into the parks and hotels, attractions, shops, parades and shows of Walt Disney World Resort.

Since its debut, the colorful and innovative MagicBand has placed guests’ vacation choices right on their wrist. The MagicBand is the key to unlocking the magic of Disney, connecting guests to all the vacation choices they make – serving as their resort room key, park admission, access to FastPass+ selections, PhotoPass photos and — for guests of Walt Disney World resort hotels – optional payment method for food and merchandise purchases.

The MagicBand helps guests customize their visit to Walt Disney World Resort, creating a vacation that is uniquely theirs. Guests can create and customize their MagicBands before leaving home when they book their Walt Disney World vacation on MyDisneyExperience.com

MagicBands are not only a hit with Disney guests. The MagicBand was singled out among the “26 Coolest Gadgets of 2014” by Fortune Magazine. Fast Company awarded MyMagic+ a coveted “Innovation by Design” honor in 2014.

Love Walt Disney World But Married to Grumpy? by Laurie Schaerer

Could you spend every vacation moment at Walt Disney World but you’re married to Grumpy? (Yes, there are people who just don’t get the Disney magic. Gasp). While these vacations may require extra special planning, Disney is so much more than rides and characters.

Does your Grumpy like the outdoors? How about vacationing during EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Show? Lots of great ideas for the garden, plus interesting exhibits and entertainment.

If you’re married to a Foodie Grumpy, EPCOT also has the International Food and Wine Festival. Heaven on a plate!!! It’s worth a trip to Disney World just to eat at the restaurants. While the majority of the restaurants at Walt Disney World are kid-friendly, planning a nice dinner at one of Disney’s Signature Restaurants can always make Grumpy happy.

There’s also great food and entertainment at Downtown Disney (soon to be Disney Springs). What’s that irresistible smell? Ghiradelli’s – the world’s best hot chocolate. If, by chance, your Grumpy likes to shop, he/she will be in heaven at Downtown Disney. You can even get dinner and a movie all in the same place here.

Sports fan Grumpies haven’t been forgotten either. If your Grumpy is afraid of missing the Big Game, head over to ESPN at the Boardwalk for snacks and a big screen tv. Or how about a round of golf, mini-golf or bowling? They’re all available at Walt Disney World.

In the years I’ve been planning Disney vacations, I’ve learned that there is something for everyone. With a little extra thought, maybe your Grumpy will be Happy to go to Walt Disney World with you on your next vacation.
