Three Must Haves for your Trip to Disney World
Three of my best friends are my three sisters. From youngest to oldest we are 7 years apart. While we had our arguments and disagreements especially during our junior high and high school years we’re super close now. I’m so thankful for them. We decided to take a sisters weekend and decided to head to Disney World! It’s just a magical place for kids, but for adults too.
We spent a full day, kids free, at the park.
We got to go on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for the first time together. Check out the video below:

When was the last time you were at the Magic Kingdom? For me it’s been a few years. (I have been to Disneyland several times in the past few years.) I wanted to share three discoveries I made and think everyone should know (and get excited) about. So here are my three must haves for your Trip to Disney World!
1. Magic Bands
I’ve seen my friends post pictures of their Magic Bands on social media, but honestly I was not 100% sure what they were. Now that I have one and have used it I am sold on them! And I need to share with you the magic of the magic band. In short it does everything.
The magic band holds your ticket info and you can even link it to fast passes. If you’re staying in one of their resorts it’s your room key. You can even link your bracelet to a card and pay with your magic band. It’s fantastic!
2. Memory Maker
Did you know that you could buy a photo pass for the whole day (or trip). It’s all linked to your magic band. You can find a photographer (by using the app) and then they just scan your magic band. I had all the pics of my sisters and I including those from our rides. It’s fabulous!
3. My Disney Experience App
The Disney Experience App has everything. Want to find a photographer? Want to find out wait times? Check your fast passes? It’s all on the app! You can find food, bathrooms, and more.
I even used the app to find my favorite treat – a dole whip float!
We had such an excellent day!
What is your favorite thing to do at the Magic Kingdom?
I have not been to Disney in 35 years. Gosh I am old.
Note to self: Get magic band!
Thanks for the tips never knew about all this but it’s great especially the magic band
My husband and I met at WDW. These are fantastic tips. I would also highly recommend having a water bottle. Florida is the sunshine state and it can get quite warm. With water bottles in the park really expensive you’ll be glad that you have your own. Plus gives you extra cash for souvenirs.
I’ve been there a number of time. My husband & I went on our honeymoon some 40+ years ago. We took our girls down every 5 years or so. Now I’m hoping to be able to go with our grandson. It is such a magical place.
I haven’t been to Disney in 15 years and I am dying to go back!! Thank you for the info on all of the changes since I have last visited.
It would be a fun and magical place to visit sometime. I don’t know if I will ever get the chance to do that.
Thanks for this. I loved using Fast Pass before. We’re planning an upcoming trip next year, so these tips have come in handy.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll have to remember them next time we go to Disney World.
It’s been years since I’ve visited Disneyworld and would love to go back before my knees give out completely. My granddaughter is six so this is also the perfect time for her to go. We are hoping to make a trip to Disneyland which is closer and I will certainly be checking out this app. Thanks 🙂
wow you guylook like to have fun i not been there and would love to visit
I love the Mine Train roller coaster 🙂
What a fun trip with your sisters. I agree the magic band is a must.
I have never been and really want to take my family.
