    I have an old original magic band from 2023. Will it still work for my 2025 trip?

    Hiya, Diane! 

    I hope you’re getting ready to enjoy your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth this year! Yay! I’m sure you’ll love seeing M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Mickey Mouse, MICKEY MOUSE during your adventures! Gear up for a whole lot of magic, and browse the Disney Parks Blog for all of the updates and announcements before your trip! 

    I’m thrilled to be the bringer of good news, Diane! Your original MagicBand from 2023 should work perfectly on your 2025 trip! This will be dependent of the status of the battery within the MagicBand, but I have a MagicBand from 2021 that I still use occasionally, and it works like a charm! You’ll just want to make sure that your MagicBand is linked to your My Disney Experience Account and that it is activated before you try to use it on Disney World property. If your MagicBand does not work, you can always purchase a MagicBand+ while you are visiting the theme parks, Disney Springs, or the Disney Resort hotels! The gift shops always have a nice collection. 

    You can also link your tickets to your mobile device using the MagicMobile Service available for Disney World guests, Diane. This would be a great backup plan for you just in case your MagicBand does not work properly or is misplaced during your vacation. 

    If you have any additional questions, we would love to hear from you again here at planDisney! We’re always just a dream away! 

    See ya real soon,
    Allyn
