Welcome back to
planDisney, Lara! I'm so happy to know you will be starting the new year with a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Thanks for sending us your planning question!
As long as you have a valid theme park ticket linked to you on your MyDisney account and your MagicBand is active and linked to it, you will be good to go! You can always use bands from previous visits. I have several that are older and have not had any issues using them on recent visits.
Your
MagicBand can be used to enter theme parks, open your Disney hotel room, and you can use it to make charges during your vacation, if you're staying onsite. It's so convenient and really is my favorite accessory when I visit the theme parks!
You will also be able to purchase a new MagicBand+ when you arrive at the resort. There are so many different colors and styles available at the theme parks and even at your Disney hotel gift shop!
Lara, I hope this information is helpful to you. Please feel free to come back to see here or at
planDisney en Español if you have any more questions. It's always our pleasure to help you with all the details of your next vacation.
