    I have an unlinked Magic Band+ I did not particularly like when I received it, if I gift or sell it will the receiving person be able to link it to their account

    Ahoy Wallace!

    This November, you'll be setting sail on the most magical cruise line on the high seas! Soon you'll see the sun rise and set from the open-air decks-the perfect way to start and end your vacation days. In between, you'll be experiencing all Disney Cruise Line has to offer! I know you are looking forward to filling every moment with magic. 

    Wallace, MagicBand+, known as DisneyBand+ onboard Disney Cruise Line, is a convenient way to unlock your stateroom, pay for onboard purchases, connect your photos to your account, and tap on and off the ship. If your band is charged, you'll also be able to enjoy some special interactive features. If you would like to gift or sell an unused MagicBand+ or DisneyBand+, you can do so as long as it hasn't been linked to your account. Once you link a band with the 12-digit ID number, it stays connected to you. You can link a new band in your "My Disney Experience" account. You can also check which bands are linked to your account on the Disney Cruise Line website under "Already Booked," then "My Account," and select "DisneyBand+ & More." If you'd like to order one through your Disney Cruise Line account, you'll see your options there. To ensure on-time arrival, order these bands at least 11 days before departure for home delivery. Disney Cruise Line offers a few cruise-themed options. When you arrive at the terminal, have your MagicBand+ or DisneyBand+ handy so the Cast Member checking you in can make sure it is linked to your onboard account. 

    Thank you for sending in your question, Wallace. Good luck selecting the perfect band for your upcoming sailing. Although it doesn't need to be charged to work, don't forget to pack your charger so you can experience the magical effects.
