Hi Paul,
Welcome back to planDisney! We're so glad you stopped by again with another great question, and I'm happy to hear you're planning an October visit. Between the
50th anniversary celebration, the
Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and all of the
fall fun going on
all around Walt Disney World Resort, you've chosen a wonderful time to visit!
Because MagicBands link directly to your My Disney Experience account and are tied to an individual Guest, they cannot be
transferred. Your daughter will be able to
reuse her MagicBands on your upcoming trip, but if her friend wants to use one, a new one will need to be purchased. They're available for sale online at
shopDisney before your trip or at any number of retail locations once you arrive, and there are some super cute options available! I personally love the new Country Bear Jamboree one, as it brings back decades of memories of watching that show with my dad. Oh, and did you see the recent announcement that
Disney MobileMagic is now available for use on Apple devices? That's another great option for you and your crew to use during your visit if you'd like. The great thing is that MagicBands aren't going anywhere and you'll all be able to use
MagicBands, cards,
or Disney MobileMagic interchangeably to access the theme parks. Feel free to use whatever works best for you!
Please feel free to keep your questions coming, Paul, as we're always here and happy to help. I hope you all have a truly magical vacation this fall!
Missy
