Hi Barbara,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
Glad to hear that you already have your
MagicBand+ linked to your
My Disney Experience mobile app! If you decide to cancel your reservation at
Disney’s Art of Animation hotel and book at the
Walt Disney World Swan, that’s completely okay and there’s nothing further you’ll need to do with your MagicBand+. You’ll simply want to cancel the reservation, then that reservation will be removed from your MagicBand+, and you'll book the next hotel. As you noted, you won’t need MagicBand+ for your new hotel.
When your Art of Animation reservation is removed from your Bands, you’ll still be able to use it for Theme Park entry, fun interactions in the Theme Parks, payment in the Theme Parks, and
Lightning Lane entry! Keep in mind that any of your dining reservations will also still be on your My Disney Experience account, so you can use MagicBand+ to scan in at the check-in desk as well.
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you decide which hotel is best for your trip (both are amazing options!). If you have any other planning or vacation questions,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
