2 magic band questions?

[TikiMan0228]

Hi.

1. What side are the magic band touch points at the entry gates and at the rides? Trying to decide what side I want to have my magic band on. Don't want it on my left wrist if everything is going to be on right side.

2. Do you wear you magic bands on the plane? Don't want to be the only dorks wearing them if no one else does. Lol. Sure fire way to be 100% sure we do not leave one behind is to have them all on en route to the airport.

Thanks!

1. I'm pretty sure the tapstiles are on both sides when you enter the parks depending on which line you get in. As for the rides... I believe that some are on the left and some are on the right. I usually wear my MB on my left wrist and then use my right index finger for the biometric scan. I usually tap my MB and have my finger on the scanner. It seems to make it go a little quicker.

2. We (DW and I) wear our MB's on the plane so that when we land and de-board we can head straight for the Magical Express without having to dig through our carry-on bags. They are very fashionable.

I believe there are fast pass mickey heads or what ever you call them on both sides when you enter the park.
My kids wore them on the plane and i did see a bunch of people wearing them. It's not a bad idea since you need them for magical Express.

The readers are on both sides.

Readers are on both sides at all times you need to use it. Park entrances and rides.

We don't ever wear our MB to Disney, I take them out of our bag while walking down to ME.
We almost always wear it home since we depart afternoons and have been in the parks for the day. I typically don't even realize I still have it on till on the plane

Both sides. Our group actually splits up left and right so as we approach the scanners we go side by side.

As others said...both sides.

That's not something I do. I barely wear them in the parks. Others do it; not me.

The rides have the tap points on both sides, and the CM are constantly encouraging people to use both sides. At the park entrance they are in pairs, and you can stand right in front of them, so either hand works.

We usually put our MB on right before we get off the plane. I carry them in my purse until then, and then from that point on we wear them all week. You won't be the only ones on the plane wearing them if you choose to wear them the entire trip. And you do need them if you are going to be taking ME, so you might as well wear them.

I am the dork that wears them on the plane. Or in the car for the 24 hour drive. Or to work....

Even though we usually rent a car because we do some other attractions in the area we wear them on the plane.
