Hey there, hi there, ho there, Sherrie!
Thanks for bringing us your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. You're as welcome as can be at planDisney!
Oh boy... it looks like the countdown to your exciting vacation is almost over. Soon, you'll be arriving at The Most Magical Place on Earth for an unforgettable adventure! Sherrie, I'm happy to help you out with your MagicBand mishap.
MagicBands and
MagicBand+ are a swell way for Guests to unlock the magic during their Walt Disney World Resort vacations. These handy bands make theme park entry a breeze and also allow folks to unlock their
Disney Resort hotel room doors, charge purchases to their hotel folios, and more! MagicBand+ even enables Guests to experience special interactions with the theme parks and during nighttime spectaculars. Sherrie, unfortunately, once a MagicBand has been linked to an individual's account in
My Disney Experience, it cannot be reassigned to another Guest. However, not to worry - there are other options available that allow Guests to enter the theme parks!
Guests may stop by a theme park
ticket booth to pick up a physical card with their theme park admission linked. These cards can be used at the turnstiles to allow Guests to "tap in" to the parks, just like a MagicBand! Alternatively, Guests can use
Disney MagicMobile service in the My Disney Experience mobile app to create and save digital passes to their mobile wallets. With this digital resource, entering the theme parks is as easy as tapping in with an eligible smartwatch or phone. Sherrie, if a MagicBand is truly what you're after, I'm happy to inform you that these bands are widely available at
many stores throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. I recommend picking up a band at least one day before a Guest intends to use it so that they have ample time to link it to their account in the
My Disney Experience mobile app and allow it to charge overnight before its first use.
Sherrie, I hope you find this information to be helpful as you count down the final days before your magical and memorable Walt Disney World Resort vacation! If you have any additional questions for us, please feel free to stop back by
planDisney again anytime. We're all ears!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
