Do I need a wristband to participate in activities, and what does it include?
If you're just attending the event to enjoy the atmosphere, watch the concert, or view fireworks, you do not need to purchase a wristband.
However, if you’d like to participate in inflatable attractions or other interactive activities, a wristband or individual tickets will be required.
Here’s how wristbands work:
Resort Wristbands (issued at check-in):
All overnight guests will receive a color-coded wristband upon check-in, based on their property. This band is for guest identification only and does not include access to attractions.
Unlimited Attractions Wristbands (for inflatables only):
BCL & WC guests - $30 all you can bounce
Children 2 and under $10 all you can bounce
This wristband gives you unlimited access to inflatable attractions.
Individual inflatable tickets will also be available if you prefer not to purchase the wristband.
All other activities are pay-as-you-go upon arrival, including:
• Tie Dye: $15 per shirt
• Trucker Hat making: $25 per hat
Complimentary activities include:
• Face painting
• Balloon artists
So while you don’t need a wristband just to attend, you will need one if you want to jump in on the fun.
Can I buy wristbands in advance?
Yes! An online option will be available for guests to purchase the Unlimited Attractions Wristband in advance. (Inflatables only.)
