Hi Dan, Welcome to planDisney! Sounds like you're gearing up for a trip to
The Most Magical Place On Earth! MagicBands are one of my favorite accessories while at Disney as it offers such a convenience! They can be used to open your resort room door, PhotoPass and most importantly, enter the parks!
Unfortunately, once a
MagicBand has been assigned to a specific guest in the My Disney Experience system, it cannot be reassigned to someone else. MagicBands are linked to the individual guest's profile, and for security and privacy reasons, they are non-transferable. If someone in your party is on the hunt for a new MagicBand, they are available at various locations within Walt Disney World, including the resort gift shops and the online Disney Store.
If you don’t want to purchase a new MagicBand, you can use the
Disney MagicMobile Service through the My Disney Experience app. This allows you to create a digital pass on your smartphone that functions similarly to a MagicBand. Alternatively, you can request a physical ticket card when you arrive at the park, which can be used for park entry and other features.
I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Dan! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. We'll see ya real soon!
