Do magic bands work at Alauni? Door locks, shopping, food?
Do you just need them linked on MDE, like would be used at WDW? Or is there a way to link them to Aulani (maybe on their website)?Like others, we used the MagicBands (not the plus ones) at Aulani with no problem as a room key, for getting pool wristbands, and buying food. It's really nice since we can leave the purses and wallets in the room and just use the MagicBand to go from the room into pool, get some food, back into pool, and then up to the room. No need to worry about stuff being stolen while in the water and no need for pockets on swimwear!
I would imagine that MB's from Aulani work like MB's from anywhere as long as they are paired with the resort you happen to be at. We use the same MB+'s at DL/DCA, WDW, DCL, and other Disney properties with no problems.
This is exactly our experience. Yes, MBs do work at Aulani as long as your Aulani reservation is on your MDE account. Nothing else required.They DO work. This is official as of around August last year. We went in October, you just need to link your Aulani booking to the same Disney account as your Magic Band and My Disney Experience app and you can use for room key and charging purchases.
No just brought the bands and they linked them at Front Desk…working seamlessly!Did you need to enter the aulani reservation in your MDE account. We tried and seems to only take WDW reservation.
