    Hello can i use and old magic band?

    Hello there, Angello!

    Welcome to planDisney. We're so glad you've stopped by with a wonderful Walt Disney World Resort planning question! Oh boy... it sounds like you'll be paying a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth very soon. Get ready to enter a world filled with excitement and wonder! Let's get you on your way to your perfect Disney day.

    Angello, have you heard about MagicBand+? This most recent iteration of MagicBand technology allows Guests to experience the Walt Disney World Resort in ways like never before! From unique interactions with the theme park environments and attractions to enveloping Guests in the magic of nighttime spectaculars, MagicBand+ incorporates all the conveniences of previous MagicBand iterations while adding a dash of pixie dust. However, I'm also happy to share that previous versions of MagicBands may also be reused on future visits as well! Just note that, if many years have passed between visits, older MagicBands may eventually lose their pixie dust power. I still recommend bringing it along to try it out!

    If you find that your MagicBand no longer works the way you hoped, don't fret, Angello. There are other ways for you to access the magic at the Walt Disney World Resort! Disney MagicMobile service, a handy feature within the My Disney Experience mobile app, allows Guests to add a digital pass to their mobile wallet. This Disney MagicMobile pass offers many of the same conveniences as a MagicBand, like allowing entry into the theme parks, linking Disney PhotoPass media, and tapping in at Lightning Lane entrances! Alternatively, you could visit any Guest Relations location to request a physical card.

    Angello, I hope you've found this information helpful as you gear up for a thrill-filled day at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you have any additional planning questions, you're always welcome to revisit us here at planDisney! We're all ears.

    See ya real soon,

    Lauren
