Hi, Julie! Welcome (back) to planDisney.
How exciting that you have a Walt Disney World Resort trip coming up! "Off to Neverland! Here we goooooooo!"I'm so excited for you, Julie.
If you have a MagicBand from a previous trip, you can absolutely bring it along as long as it’s still active in
My Disney Experience. The battery is designed to last about two years or more, so it might still work for multiple visits. However, if it’s been 4+ years, there’s a chance the battery could be dead, and since it’s sealed inside, there’s no way to check or replace it at home. You can always bring it and hope for the best (with your phone as a backup), or to avoid any hassle, consider upgrading to a
MagicBand+.
MagicBand+ comes with some fun new features, like haptic vibrations and colorful lights, plus it’s rechargeable—so you can use it for years to come! There are tons of awesome designs available on
shopDisney.com, and if you're staying at a Disney Resort Collection hotel, you even preorder your MagicBand+ and get a sweet discount.
Speaking of staying onsite,
Early Theme Park Entry is one of the best perks! Those extra 30 minutes in the morning are perfect for knocking out a big attraction (or two!) before the crowds roll in. And the best part? You can take advantage of this benefit on both your check-in and check-out days. Ka-chow!
I've answered another one of your questions about the Disney Dining Plan. If you have further questions about dining, feel free to ask away.
I hope that's helpful, Julie. Thanks for letting me be part of your great, big, beautiful tomorrow.
Mike
