Hi Candace!
Welcome to planDisney! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is just around the corner and I'm happy to help you plan for your trip. Are you following the
Disney Parks Blog? It's the best way to get the latest news and announcements about all of the magic you'll be able to enjoy during your visit!
MagicBands are a fantastic addition to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation because they will give you access to your
theme park tickets,
Lightning Lane reservations, and
Disney PhotoPass account. Unfortunately, once a MagicBand has been linked to a
My Disney Experience account, it can't be transferred or used by another Guest to access their entitlements. So, unfortunately, you can't borrow a MagicBand from your friend for your upcoming visit to the "Most Magical Place on Earth."
You're welcome to
purchase a new MagicBand from shopDisney before your trip or you can purchase one from one of the merchandise shops at Walt Disney World Resort once your visit starts. You can also access your theme park tickets and Lightning Lane reservations from your phone using the complimentary
Disney MobileMagic Service or grab an admission card from Guest Relations to access your entitlements. I've used all of these methods to enjoy the theme parks and they've all been a great way to access a magical Disney day!
Come back to see us if we can help you again as your vacation approaches. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
