We've been to WDW several times before for 5-7 day stays and because we have a physically and mentally disabled adult son, have been fortunate to use the old Guest Accommodation system. We have not been to the World since last year before the introduction of the Magic Bands and the elimination of the old GAC program.
This coming April we will be stopping at the MK for one day only, something we've never done before. How does the Magic Band + program work for us? Should be buy tickets in advance or simply walk up and purchase them at the gate? Once we enter the park, then how do they work in place of paper Fastpasses? Additionally, what sort of program replaced the GAC and how does that work? I've seen several different and sometimes contradictory explanations. It's strange after all those visits to feel like a first timer again. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
