Hi Jeremy. Welcome to planDisney!
It’s great to have you here as you prepare for your upcoming visit.
MagicBands are a great addition to any
Walt Disney World vacation, allowing you to effortlessly access your park tickets, redeem
Lightning Lane reservations, and even unlock your Disney Resort hotel room door with just a tap. Plus, they add a touch of magic by making it easy to link
Disney PhotoPass photos and interact with certain attractions. With all these benefits, it’s no wonder MagicBands are a favorite among Guests!
As for linking your MagicBand to the wrong person in your group, I understand the situation can be tricky. Unfortunately, once a MagicBand is linked to a Guest,
it cannot be unlinked or reassigned to someone else. MagicBands are uniquely paired to each person’s My Disney Experience account for security reasons, ensuring that only the intended Guest has access to the associated ticket/room/food and merchandise charging ability. The good news is that you can still make the most of the linked MagicBand as a keepsake and a new MagicBand can be set up quickly for the correct member of your group.
I’d say having an extra MagicBand isn’t a bad problem to have! This gives you the perfect opportunity to choose a new design that showcases your favorite Disney character, attraction, or even a themed land. You can browse various options online at the
Disney Store, through the
My Disney Experience app, or in person at various park merchandise locations. Popular spots include the
Pin Traders - Camera Center at EPCOT or the
Disney Springs Pin Traders shop. There’s truly no shortage of designs to choose from. If you need any further help,
I’m just a message away.
Enjoy your upcoming trip to The Most Magical Place On Earth!
