    can I use my original magic band

    Welcome to planDisney, Joann! It's my pleasure to assist you with your upcoming Disney visit. 

    If your MagicBand is still active and linked to your My Disney Experience account, there’s no need to get a new one. Your MagicBand will still work for park entry, Lightning Lane access, and anything else tied to your tickets. The main thing is just to make sure it’s connected to the right profile and tickets in the app, so there aren’t any hiccups when you get to the parks.

    Some people like to switch to MagicMobile on their phone, and that works too, but you don’t have to choose. You can even use both if you want. Some days you might prefer the convenience of having it on your wrist, and other days it’s nice to just scan your phone. Either way, your original MagicBand is still perfectly good, so you don’t have to worry about ordering a new one before your trip.

    It’s nice that Disney lets you keep using your old MagicBands, because it saves time and you get to stick with one you already love. Just double-check everything’s linked correctly, and you’re good to go. You’ll be all set to enjoy the parks without any extra stress.

    If you need help finding where your MagicBand is linked to your My Disney Experience account, stop by and see us again soon. We'd be happy to help you step by step!

My love for all things Disney began at the age of three, thanks to my parents. Today, that passion is shared with my own Prince, Princess, husband, and extended family, all of whom adore the magic of Walt Disney World just as much as I do. I’m thrilled to share that passion with you and help make your next Disney vacation truly unforgettable! Learn More About Korliss
