We are planning a trip to Disney World in November.

Can the Apple Watch replace the magic band?
If so are there any limitations on the watch?
 
Yes, but not for everything.

Using the MagicMobile express card on the watch works great for park admissions, lightning lane checkins, PhotoPass scans, buying things and charging it to your on-property room, ride lockers for Tron/Flight of Passage, and checkins for early magic hours with the cast members that check on the tablets.

It won’t work as a room key for on-property resort rooms, do any of the interactive firework/parade light syncing (MagicBand+ light-up stuff), or interactive wireless ride PhotoPass/queue interactions.
