    Hello, I have 5 family members on my account all with magic bands. When we try to install the app on their own phone and try to link their magic+ band, it says it is already linked. What is the process for them to use the app with their bands?

    Hiya, Mark, and welcome to planDisney! Your magical Walt Disney World Resort visit will be here in just a few days, so I hope you've started packing your Mickey ears. And it sounds like you have quite the crew coming along with you, so let's see how to straighten out your MagicBands and accounts before you arrive. 

    I chatted with a tech-savvy Cast Member who said there are many variables in your situation, so he suggested you call the My Disney Experience helpline for assistance. For example, if your family members have active accounts, you should be able to send invitations to share plans. But if their account emails are new or different, then those accounts will need to be merged, and that's where Cast Members can help. 

    Just so you know, guests should be 13 or over to have their own My Disney Experience accounts, and MagicBands and MagicBand+ typically cannot be transferred to other guests once they've been linked. I'm sprinkling a healthy dose of pixie dust your way so you can get everyone ready to enjoy the magic soon!

    You're arriving on the very day that the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts begins! This is one of my favorite festivals. I can't wait to catch some of the Disney on Broadway performances. You might see me dancing in the aisles next week!

    Mark, don't let Stitch and his technical glitches put a wrinkle in your magical visit. I'm sure you'll get the help you need and make some magical memories. Please stop by planDisney anytime! 

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
