Hello and welcome to
planDisney, Cindy. I'm glad you've stopped by to chit-chat about your Walt Disney World vacation later this year.
Cindy, once a
MagicBand is linked to a particular person, it is not able to be relinked to someone else. That particular person can reuse their own MagicBand over and over for different trips but it cannot be shared with another person. If you would rather not purchase a MagicBand for your trip this coming fall, you do have other options. When you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort hotel that you happen to be staying at, stop by the front desk and ask for a "keys to the world" card. These are complimentary and can be linked with your tickets, hotel room,
PhotoPass pictures and more. The cards come in different designs of Mickey and the gang and can be a really fun collectible. I think they are so cute. You can also simply use your smartphone device for everything you'd need a MagicBand for as well. If you have the
MyDisneyExperience app downloaded on your smartphone you'll be all set. You can add your Walt Disney World Theme Park tickets to your mobile wallet, open your Walt Disney World Resort hotel room door, scan into the lightning lane at certain attractions and even have your PhotoPass pictures sent to your account. It's a great new addition and what I choose to use now at the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. I really like not having to keep up with a MagicBand or card while I am there. Since my phone is always with me anyways, I find it super convenient.
Cindy, I see that your upcoming trip is going to be in October. That's such a fun time to visit Walt Disney World. Everything is decked out in its not-so-spooky Halloween decorations. Last year, we enjoyed the
Disney After Hours Boo Bash that took place on select nights at Magic Kingdom Park. While no party has been confirmed yet, I am fairly certain we should hear something about what we can expect soon. If an after-hours party interests you, be sure to keep an eye out on the
Disney Parks Blog. When information is released, that's going to be where we can find all of the details.
I hope this helps, Cindy. If you have more planning questions along the way, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'd love to help.
Happy planning!
Jacke H.
