    We are coming with our family and they have old and new Magic Bands. Can we activate two of their old Magic Bands into our names?

    Hi there, Robbin, and welcome to planDisney! It's so exciting that you're here with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! You'll be arriving tomorrow- how exciting! I'll keep this short and sweet so you can get back to packing those suitcases.

    Robbin, once a MagicBand is linked to a Guest, it cannot be linked to another Guest. It's so generous that your family members have offered to share! If you'd like to wear a MagicBand, you'll need to purchase a new one. While I think that wearing a MagicBand+ is the most convenient way to access the magic, there are other options that don't require the purchase of a new MagicBand+.

    I recommend using Disney MagicMobile Service, which allows you to save your Disney Theme Park Tickets to the wallet of your smartphone, just like you would with a boarding pass or credit card. You can do this for your ticket as well as tickets for any Family and Friends that you manage in My Disney Experience. I use this for myself and my children because it's helpful to have a backup in case one of us forgets to wear a MagicBand!

    Another option is a Key to the World Card. You can pick this up at the front of the Disney Theme Parks or your Disney Resorts Collection hotel. This special type of card will also allow you to unlock the door of your Disney Resort hotel room. You'll receive one card per Guest, and that will work for the entirety of your vacation.

    Robbin, I hope this is helpful to you as you count down the final hours to your arrival! Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!

    See ya real soon!
