Dining Plan and magic bands

[ninjaprincesst]

I was just wondering if any one knows how they will be handling the dining plan and the magic bands? I am assuming you will still get a kttw card for dining. I just cant imagine that they have a gold ball with a mickey head on it to bring to the table for you to use your magic band.

I believe they have iPhone like devices with a scanner built in. You can use your band to pay for food if you have a card on your account, so I don't see why the Dining Plan is any different.

It's not an iPhone, it reminds me of an older handheld barcode scanner. It has a small screen and keypad for entering your PIN.
