News Disney MagicMobile Service coming soon beginning with Apple devices

[CaptainAmerica]

I plan to use Google Pay while I'm there. I admittedly don't use it much - I have my card I want to use and then the Magic Mobile cards linked to G-pay.

When I go to check out- do I just tap the credit card I want to use in g-pay and pay?

You don't have to touch anything if the card you want to use is your default card. Just open the app.

I can swipe to change card, or click on the "Walt Disney World" pass to use my phone like a MagicBand.

You'll know it's me when you hear singing alternating between The Magic Is Calling and Mr. Roboto.

Thanks! Now I have both songs in my head…

You never need to open the Google Pay app. To ensure that the MagicMobile pass is transmitted, don't unlock your phone. Just have the screen on and phone locked. Payment cards need the phone to be unlocked, but again, you still don't need to open the app unless you're paying with a card other than your default.

I read the post I was responding to as if she wanted to use Google Pay to pay with a credit card, not MM.

I wish the card on file could be a rewards card of a gift card or some sort of reloadable card, not tied to any account.

Since this was bumped...

I never was able to add Google Pay when paying with mobile order, but just used one of my credit cards and it charged card directly.

I was able to use Google Pay directly at stores/kiosks, but ONLY after I removed the magic mobile cards from my G-pay! Whenever I tried to pay, it kept automatically defaulting to the magic mobile card and not the card I wanted to use attached to G-pay. A lot of people were having that issue and cast members told me just to remove magic mobile card if not using (which I wasn't).

I have a friend who described the same issue ( I use iPhone). It seems the issue is you need to manually trigger Google Pay first and then tap the payment point. If you don’t do that MagicMobile intercepts the RFID read so Google Pay never sees it. I have to do exactly the same thing on iPhone or Watch I just double tap the watch button to trigger ApplePay and it works fine.

So does this charge direct to the card on file, or is it charging back to the room like when buying merchandise?

It charges back to your room folio account if you are a Disney hotel guest with that set up.

We were trying everything at food/wine - finally the CM just told me to remove it for fear of the angry mob forming behind me in line!

I use the same card so this does nothing for me.

You can now use a reloadable card (like a 5% discounted Target Disney gift card or your Disney Visa rewards card) to pay off your resort bill and now get that 5% (or more with the Sam's black Friday gift card deal) ALL your purchases in addition to your resort bill.
