    How do you unlink a magic band+ to relink it to a new account?

    Hi Emmerson!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney as you're about to begin your magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort!  MagicBand+ is one of my favorite accessories on vacation, as I can enter the parks, tap into Lightning Lanes, pay for merchandise, unlock my hotel door, and do much more - all with a quick tap of the wrist!  In fact, I have several different MagicBands linked to my account, so I pick different colors and designs based on my outfit or the park I'm visiting.

    Once a MagicBand+ has been linked to a My Disney Experience account, it unfortunately cannot be transferred to a new account.  If you'd like to add a MagicBand+ to another member of your party, you can purchase one in most retail locations around the parks and resorts and then link it via the My Disney Experience Mobile App.  

    Emmerson, I can also share that there are two other options that you can consider for those in your party who don't currently have a MagicBand+.  The first is Disney MagicMobile Service - my husband's preference.  He doesn't like to wear a MagicBand+ in addition to his smartwatch, so he creates a digital pass to save to his phone and access on his smartwatch.  You can also request a Key to the World Card.  My middle son used this after forgetting his MagicBand+ in the room one day.  These are plastic cards the size of a credit card, which are connected to your account so you can access your park tickets, Lightning Lane entries, and more.  

    While I know this may not be the answer you were hoping for, I hope this information helps you prepare for your arrival tomorrow!  If you have any issues with your MagicBand+, Disney MagicMobile Service, or Key to the World Card during your stay, just stop by the front desk of your Disney Resort Hotel or a Guest Relations location for assistance, and a Cast Member will be happy to do what they can to help. You can also find Cast Members at the blue umbrellas labeled "Guest Experiences" around the parks for assistance, too.

    Remember, you've got a friend in me here at planDisney, so please stop by to see us again with any other questions you have in the future!

    Have a great trip!
