Hi there, Amy. Welcome to
planDisney!
Are you getting so excited about your upcoming
Walt Disney World vacation? It will be here before you know it. I can't think of a better way to kick off a new year than with a trip to Walt Disney World, that's going to be so much fun!
Amy, once a
MagicBand is assigned to someone and used during a vacation it's theirs forever. There isn't a way to reassign a MagicBand to another person after the fact. You can purchase a MagicBand for your mom once you arrive at Walt Disney World. You will see them at almost every merchandise location throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. If you'd rather not purchase another MagicBand, you can ask the Cast Member checking you in at the front desk for a complimentary Key to the World Card. These cards act just like a MagicBand. They can store your ticket, unlock your room door, collect PhotoPass pictures and so much more. They also come in several cute designs so they can be fun to collect. I personally use Disney MagicMobile via the
MyDisneyExperience app. With that, I added my tickets to my mobile phone and then use the app for everything else. I always have my phone with me so it's a convenient way to keep track of everything. Plus, it's another way to save since this is another option that doesn't cost money.
I hope this helps, Amy. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop back by and ask.
Happy holidays!
Jackie H.
