Welcome to planDisney, Elliot! How exciting that your wife and daughter are planning a girls' trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth; I know they're going to have the best time making magical memories together!
Elliot, once a
MagicBand is connected to a guest's
My Disney Experience account, that guest can use the band to scan into the theme parks, tap into Lightning Lane entries, and link PhotoPass photos to his or her account. I'm assuming that your daughter's account is currently managed by you and that her MagicBand is connected to her managed account, which allows her to use her band when she visits the parks. She should have no problem accessing and sharing the magic in your absence, even if you are the one who typically manages the account. To ensure seamless planning, just be sure that your wife's My Disney Experience account is also
connected to your daughter's managed account under her Family & Friends List so that your wife can share plans with her and connect tickets, dining and resort reservations, and Lightning Lane Passes.
As another alternative, if your daughter is at least 13 years old, you can transfer her managed account to her so she can access the magic directly. To do this, have your daughter create a new My Disney Experience account first, and then you will find her managed account under your Family and Friends List and click on "update" to enter the email address associated with her new account. This will send her an invitation to connect, and once she accepts the invitation, her managed account will transfer to her new account along with her existing MagicBands and plans! It's the first step to a lifetime of Disney independence!
Elliot, while your wife and daughter are embracing the magic, you'll still be able to view all of their PhotoPass memories on your
My Disney Experience mobile app from home; I love keeping up with friends and family as they enjoy a magical vacation and seeing the memories they are creating!
I hope this is helpful, and if you have any other questions, please come back and see us again at

Magic and Memories,
Alison
