With the new RFID Magic Bands, do you still need to have your hand stamped when leaving a park if you plan to "hop" on over to another?

They haven't been stamping hands for a few years now. Long enough that I can't remember exactly the last time it was required.

I have my AP linked on a magic band. No hand stamp required. I have never had a hand stamp at WDW. At Disneyland I think they still do the hand stamp, someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. It's been a while since I was last there.

You only need a stamp if you want to be mailed to the park, otherwise just use your park ticket for entry.

I remember the hand stamps and the black light they used to verify your stamp when you returned.

As kids, we would be swimming in Bay Lake at Fort Wikerness with our hand in the air because we were afraid it would wash off and they wouldn't let us back in. We had to look like a bunch of dorks.

They are still stamping in Disneyland!


I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
