Hi Angela, and welcome to planDisney!
I’m so glad you stopped by with your question. When it comes to MagicBands, it’s important to know that once a MagicBand has been linked to a specific Guest’s My Disney Experience profile, it cannot be reassigned to another person. This is because each MagicBand is uniquely connected to a Guest’s ticket and personal information for park entry,
Lightning Lane access, and more.
But here’s the good news: MagicBands don’t expire! If you or a family member has an older MagicBand that’s still in good working condition, it can be used again on a future visit, as long as it’s still linked to the same Guest.
If you need a new one, there are plenty of fun styles to choose from, including
MagicBand+ options that light up and interact with select features around the parks!
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can customize and pre-order your MagicBand through your
My Disney Experience account, which is often at a discounted price compared to buying in the parks. You’ll be able to choose your favorite color or character design, and even add your name or nickname to the inside of the band. Just be sure to place your order at least 11 days before your arrival if you’d like it shipped to your home.
Let me know if you’d like help picking the perfect MagicBand style or need tips on how to link a new MagicBand to your account.
Toodles,
Korliss
