Hi Alexus! Thank you for bringing your question to planDisney.
Yay for trips with friends! I love visiting Walt Disney World Resort with my family, but when I visit with my friends we tend to experience all the magic a bit differently. It's a "whole new 'World!"
It sounds you have the
MagicBand ordering process exactly right. If your friend has already found a MagicBand she likes on shopDisney (the selection of available colors and designs varies a bit between retail bands and those available to order through My Disney Experience), then you will simply decline a band for her and can place the order for a band for yourself. I thought I would also let you know that
Guests can have more than one active MagicBand linked to their profile, and can use them interchangeably. Let's just say I have QUITE the collection of MagicBands myself. I like to wear a band that coordinates with my outfit or a color that suits my mood on any particular day. So you might want to check with your friend to see if she would like an additional band -- I am always tempted by the discount when ordering MagicBands with my
Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay.
Any MagicBands ordered through your
My Disney Experience account will
automagically be linked to your profiles and there is nothing else you need to do. If your friend has her own My Disney Experience account, she'll be able to
link her MagicBand ordered from
shopDisney to her profile by entering the ID numbers found on the underside of the band. If she does not have her own account, you'll be able to link the band to her profile under your account.
Wishing you the best time as you visit Walt Disney World Resort during
The World's Most Magical Celebration! Please stop by planDisney again anytime. We are always happy to help.
