    My magic bands were last used in 2021/22. We have reservations to stay in property as well as park tickets purchased. I went to activate them/link them to current tickets/reservations and it says the magic band/card has already been claimed.

    Welcome to planDisney Bethany! Thank you for reaching out with your question. How exciting that you have a magical stay at Walt Disney World Resort coming up! With your resort reservations and park tickets all set, I can understand wanting to ensure your MagicBands are ready to go. I'd be happy to help you with your MagicBand so you can focus on the fun and excitement of your upcoming trip!

    Once a MagicBand has been assigned to a specific guest in the My Disney Experience system, it cannot be reassigned to someone else. MagicBands are linked to the individual guest's profile, and for security and privacy reasons, they are non-transferable. Because of this, if you’re trying to assign the MagicBand to a different person, the system won’t allow it. If someone in your party needs a new MagicBand, you’ll find plenty of options at various locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort, including resort gift shops and merchandise locations in the parks. You can also browse and purchase MagicBands in advance through the Disney Store online for even more selection.

    Bethany, I'd like you to know there are other options in addition to the MagicBands. Disney MagicMobile Service is a great alternative. This service is a feature of the My Disney Experience app. This app feature offers quick and easy access to the theme parks and Disney Resort hotel amenities through an iPhone, Apple Watch or Android phone. You will be able to use Disney MagicMobile Service to enter the theme parks (with valid admission), link Disney PhotoPass images to your Disney account, check in at virtual queue and Lightning Lane entrances.

    I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Thank you again for visiting us at planDisney! Have a magical day!
