Welcome to
planDisney, Joyce! I'm happy to see that you're busy planning your next visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Thanks for sending us your question.
As long as you have a valid theme park ticket linked to each member of your family who will be on the trip and they have an active MagicBand linked to them, it's always worth testing out the
MagicBands you already have.
My daughters like to have an extra band in a different color, so I just try to pack them in a backpack in case they want to switch them out during our visits. There are so many cute new styles for the
new MagicBand+ online! You can also find them at the shops at your Disney Resort Collection hotel or at the theme parks.
If you decide to purchase new bands for your group, you can link them very easily via your My Disney Experience app. When you open the app, tap on the three lines at the bottom right. Then select “Tickets and Passes” to link your tickets. Then go to “My Profile” and tap on “MagicBands & Cards” and scroll down to “Link a MagicBand or Card” to link your bands to each member in your party.
Joyce, I hope I've been helpful. Please don't hesitate to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always
our pleasure to help you!
Veronica
