Hi Jodi,
Congratulations on joining the Annual Passholder family! You’re going to LOVE visiting “The Most Magical Place on Earth” whenever you’d like, plus you’ll be able to take advantage of some wonderful
perks and
discounts.
Yes, you may absolutely go ahead and purchase MagicBands and
link them to your My Disney Experience account. Since no data is actually stored on the MagicBands, they simply link back to whatever is already in your My Disney Experience account, including your newly purchased annual passes. Those should have automagically linked to your account, but if they didn’t, Hakuna Matata… no worries, you can
link them yourself if need be. I did want to let you know, too, that
MagicBands are reusable, so if you have any left over from a previous trip within the last year or two, you’ll still be able to use them on your next visit. Also, don’t forget that you’ll be eligible for complimentary MagicBands as an Annual Passholder! You won’t be able to
customize them and have them shipped to your home, however, until after you have
activated your annual passes by taking your voucher and valid photo IDs to any theme park ticket window or to Guest Relations at Disney Springs.
MagicBands are a GREAT way to express your Disney style, so I hope you find the
perfect ones for your upcoming visits.
Thanks so much for bringing your great question to us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jodi, and please let us know if we can help with anything else. I hope that you have a truly magical year celebrating Disney traditions and discovering new favorites with your annual passes!
Missy
