    I created an account years ago for my husband and I and have a magic band linked to that account. I created a new account and now have a magic band plus. Is there any way of switching my old magic band to my new account so I can use both?

    Hello and welcome to planDisney, Melissa!

    Thank you for sending a great question our way. It is a pleasure to help you plan a magical summer vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort!

    Unfortunately, once a MagicBand has been linked to an account, it cannot be re-assigned to another Disney account. In addition, depending on how long ago you created the account and linked the MagicBand, chances are that MagicBand may not be working anymore. Last year I decided to try using a beautiful Tiana MagicBand I purchased in 2017, but a Cast Member advised me that it would probably not link certain Disney PhotoPass content to My Disney Experience anymore. I was still able to use it to redeem admission to the theme parks, but I decided to purchase a MagicBand+ and not worry about any functionality not being available.

    planDisney tip: Besides using a MagicBand, there are other ways you can access the magic. You are also welcome to create a Disney MagicMobile pass via the My Disney Experience app and link it to your digital wallet to use your mobile device just as you would use a MagicBand.

    I hope this information is helpful, Melissa. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!

    Best Disney wishes,
