Hi Lynne!
I'm excited to help you get ready for your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort and I'm really glad to hear that you are preparing in advance for your vacation! There's a lot of magic to enjoy in the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels, and
Disney Springs and a little bit of planning will help make sure that you can enjoy all of the things on your "must-do" list. Be sure to follow the
Disney Parks Blog as your trip approaches so you can get the latest announcements about new and returning experiences you would like to enjoy during your visit!
MagicBands are a great addition to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation because they give you easy access to your
theme park tickets,
Lightning Lane reservations, and
Disney PhotoPass account. MagicBands are non-transferrable once they have been linked to a Guest. So, unfortunately, if your MagicBand has already been linked to your My Disney Experience account and used to access your entitlements during a previous trip, it can't be linked to someone else.
Your friend or family member has a few different options to access their tickets. They can always pick up a ticket card from Guest Relations that can be used to enter the theme parks or Lightning Lanes or they can purchase a MagicBand of their own for your trip. Another great option is the
Disney MagicMobile Service, which will give them access to their theme park tickets from their iPhone, Apple Watch, or Google Pay enabled Android phone. My family used the Disney MobileMagic Service for a quick trip in August and it was perfect because my husband and I had our phones handy throughout the day anyway, making it easy to access when we needed to scan our tickets!
Lynne, feel free to come back and see us if you have additional questions as your trip approaches. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
