Hi Wayne,
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm excited to hear you're planning another magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation and hope you're looking forward to all of the magic and fun you'll experience this
summer!
Want to hear some happy news? To
reuse your MagicBands from your previous trip, there's nothing you need to do! MagicBands simply link to your My Disney Experience account and don't store any data directly on them, so once you've linked a MagicBand to your account, it will be able to access any theme park tickets and Resort hotel reservations within your account. Pretty sweet, huh?
As far as being able to
park hop for a dinner reservation, is it possible to do that? Yes, the likelihood of you being able to hop where you'd like is certainly high, but are you
guaranteed to be able to enter the park where your dining reservation is? No, unfortunately, you won't be. Park hopping can be restricted due to capacity limitations. For that reason, I'd recommend making any
dining reservations in the same park as your
Disney Park Pass reservation. I'd hate to see you disappointed to miss out on a special meal or have to pay a no-show fee if you're not able to make your dining reservation. That would not be very magical!
Thanks so much for visiting us again at planDisney, Wayne, and I hope this was helpful. Please feel free to stop by any time you have a Disney-planning question. I'm sending pixie dust that you have an incredible...and
delicious...vacation this summer!
Missy
