    I have an old magic band from a 2020 visit. I am planning a trip in April 2025. Can I use old band or do I need to update to a magic band+?

    Welcome to planDisney, Christy! I'm happy to see that you're busy planning your next visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Thanks for sending us your question. 

    There are so many styles for the new MagicBand+ online. You can also find them at the shops at your Disney Resort Collection hotel or at the theme parks. While it's always nice to have an upgrade and you may decide to purchase a few new bands for your group before your visit next Spring, you won't really need to. 

    As long as you have a valid theme park ticket linked to each member of your family who will be on the trip and they have an active MagicBand linked to them, you can use the MagicBands you already have. 

    If you decide to purchase new bands for your group, you can link them very easily via your My Disney Experience app. When you open the app, tap on the three lines at the bottom right. Then select “Tickets and Passes” to link your tickets. Then go to “My Profile” and tap on “MagicBands & Cards” and scroll down to “Link a MagicBand or Card” to link your bands to each member in your party. That's it!

    Christy, please don't hesitate to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always our pleasure to help you!
