    Lisa from GA Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Are previously purchased magic bands still able to be used even if they are not magic bands+ I have magic bands from as long ago as 2013. If they will "activate" on MDE app, can I still use one of those for my upcoming trip?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Lisa! I'm so happy to know you will be visiting the Walt Disney World next week! Thanks for sending us your planning question. 

    There's a very good chance that your older MagicBands will work for your upcoming visit. As long as a valid theme park ticket is linked to them, you can use them, so I would definitely bring them along. 

    If the bands don't work, please don't worry! You can enter the theme parks with a digital ticket. The Disney MagicMobile service allows you to hold a smartphone up to an access point at the park entrance to serve as your ticket.

    To set up your digital passes, tap the “☰” icon on your My Disney Experience App. Scroll to “Set Up MagicMobile Entry” and select “Set Up Your Pass.” You may then add the pass to your digital wallet. All done!

    Lisa, I hope I've been helpful. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always our pleasure to help you with all the details of your next vacation!
