Hi, Katy, and welcome to planDisney! From one Georgian to another, I am so glad you've stopped by with this great question! My Panelist pals and I are always here and happy to help our fellow Guests with their questions about Walt Disney World Resort!
Katy, it sounds like you are such a great friend! If you have an unused
MagicBand that has never been linked to an account, you should be able to give it to your friend, no problem! However, once a MagicBand is assigned to a Guest, it can't be reassigned. One way to double check if it has been assigned to you is to head to your My Disney Experience Mobile App. Go to the main menu and scroll down to Account. Tap on MagicBands & Cards, then select your name. There, you'll see every MagicBand and Key to the World Card that has been issued to you. If you see the MagicBand listed there, then you'll need to keep it for your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation rather than give it to your friend.
If your friend finds that they need to purchase a new MagicBand+, they can rest assured that there are so many fun designs to choose from
online as well as at
merchandise locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort. If they decide not to purchase a MagicBand+, they can take advantage of
Disney MagicMobile Service, which is a complimentary way to store your ticket in the wallet of your smart phone, just like you would with a boarding pass or event ticket. With MagicMobile, you can just tap your phone like you would a MagicBand - super easy!
Katy, I hope this is helpful to you! Please stop back by with any other questions you have!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
