Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Dorothy. I'm so glad you stopped by! It sounds like you're planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. How exciting! There's no place I'd rather be, that's for sure.
I just love my
MagicBand+. Not only is it a super cute Disney vacation accessory, but it's also super functional! Being able to tap my MagicBand+ at the turnstiles to enter the theme parks, open my Disney Resort hotel door, charge purchases to my room folio, and link my Disney PhotoPass photos to my My Disney Experience account is so convenient. As a mom of three, I need all the convenience I can get! You ask a great question about MagicBands. Unfortunately, MagicBands are non-transferable. If you purchase a used MagicBand, you won't be able to link it to your My Disney Experience account. But not to fret! I have a few suggestions.
If you'll be a
Guest of the Disney Resorts Collection, you're eligible to
order a pre-arrival MagicBand+ at a discounted price. I think there's great value in this offer! I've had my first MagicBand+ for two years now, and it's in like-new condition. It was certainly worth the discounted price I paid as a Disney Resort hotel Guest! To take advantage of the MagicBand+ discount, log into your My Disney Experience account and select 'My MagicBands and Cards' from the drop-down menu.
You may also want to opt out of a MagicBand+ entirely. My husband and son don't enjoy wearing MagicBands, so they rely on
Disney MagicMobile Service. With this My Disney Experience mobile app feature, you can create a Disney MagicMobile Pass and add it to your digital wallet on your smartphone. Then, you can use your pass much like you would a MagicBand+!
I hope this was helpful, Dorothy. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
