I am helping out a friend with planning a trip. She will be visiting with her young family for the first time. They are staying off site. They may qualify for a DAS, but since they are off site, they will not have magic bands. Should I tell them to buy magic bands when they arrive for a DAS or is this a necessary expense? Can it be put on a 'card'? I've been to Disney several times but have not used a DAS, so I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me the right advice (so I can in turn give the right advice:-)) Thanks!
 
No, they don't need Magicbands.
The digital DAS can be attached to Magicbands or tickets on cards.
 
as others have said you do not need a magic band with the new DAS as you can have it linked to any ticket that you have for me I found it very easy to not have to worry about losing it since it was on my wrist it might be a very net souvenir too. you can buy them at disney for about $25 I think and they have some pretty cool ones you can not get online when you book your hotel

just a thought
 
I don't like the magic bands. I have an AP and have the old style plastic card for my AP. I JUST got it. They attached the electronic DAS to my plastic AP card without any trouble. Easy peasy!!

Hi, another question. We have old magic bands from last year. Could we give those to them? They are just the plain gray ones. Could they use those bands to attach the DAS?
TIA:-)
 


no they are attached to you your finger print is on them so they can not be given to someone else
Thanks for your quick reply. Thought they might 'reset' after use/trip expiration, but I totally forgot about the fingerprint. Thanks again!
