Hi Cheryl! MagicBands are the “ultimate” Walt Disney World Resort vacation accessory! Not only do they add convenience to your vacation, but they also allow Guests to show off their favorite Disney characters, movies, attractions, resorts, and more!
Your MagicBands from 2022 will be a “close call” for reusing them in 2025. The Walt Disney World Resort recommends not reusing a MagicBand after two years. I can share that I’ve used them for up to three years without any problem. So, if you’re like Simba and like to “…walk on the wild side” you could attempt to reuse your MagicBands. However, if you’re more cautious and prepared like our friend Cogsworth, you might consider purchasing new MagicBands for your upcoming vacation! If you decide to purchase new bands, check out the newer
MagicBand+! A great feature of these new bands is that they are rechargeable!
Once upon a time, or if you prefer, a long time ago in a galaxy far away, MagicBands were included as part of a Guest’s Walt Disney World Resort vacation package. Alas, this is no longer the case. Guests can purchase MagicBands, at a reduced price, through their My Disney Experience account! There are some exclusive bands available through your My Disney Experience account! You can also find bands on
Disneystore.com.
Cheryl, I hope this information is helpful as you continue your planning for January 2025!
Dreams do come true!
Jonathan
