Hi, Brian!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
MagicBands are indeed an essential part of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and you're absolutely right to plan if you intend to use them. Every
MagicBand must be connected to a
My Disney Experience account, and it cannot be reassigned once it has been linked to a Guest.
If you're staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel, the
Guests in your party will receive complimentary MagicBands, so there's no need to worry about bringing MagicBands for those who don't have them yet. If you're not staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, you can still purchase them
online at ShopDisney or the
Walt Disney World Resort. After buying them, you will be able to connect them to the right Guests so that they can make the most of this
truly magical gadget!
You will find
many cool styles to match your personalities, and choosing them can become an entertaining family activity!
As more questions pop up before your October visit, please, don't hesitate to come back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Brian. We're here for you!
May the magic be with you,
Julie
