Welcome to planDisney, William!
Here it's always the
practically perfect time to discuss an upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I'm so glad you stopped by!
While a
MagicBand+ (or Disney band as they are known outside of the United States) is not a requirement for Guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort, it is a fun way to add a bit more convenience to your vacation. These convenient capabilities include accessing touchpoints for entry to Walt Disney World Resort theme parks and Lightning Lanes entrances for select attractions, linking Disney PhotoPass photos to your account, and accessing (as well as charging purchases to) your Disney Resort hotel room. Of course, it's called The Most Magical Place on Earth for a reason, so these functional (and fashionable) accessories also magically interact with your surroundings by receiving haptic feedback, lights, and vibrations near select locations and experiences. I love finding the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection sculptures scattered throughout the theme parks to see what magical interaction awaits!
Although Disney bands have so many magical capabilities, William, unfortunately linking a previously used Disney band to a new account is not one of them. Once a Disney band has been linked to and used by a My Disney account, it is unable to be transferred. Now, if you accidentally linked a band to an incorrect account, I suggest
reaching out to a Cast Member to see if they are able to help you remedy the situation.
Happily, if someone in your party is in need of a Disney band upon arrival, you'll find that there are so many unique designs available for purchase at Disney Resort hotels, Disney Springs, and the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. If you're in need of further assistance as your vacation approaches, I hope you'll
come see us again at planDisney. We're always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
