If we purchase Magic band
Will we still be able to use the band’s to enter the parks? What if a person doesn’t have a cellphone? If we have several of the free band’s from pass visits can we have them updated when we arrive and use them?
If you don’t have a cell phone you can use a key to the world card. You can also still use the magic bands.
