2 sets of Magic Bands??

[*TheWigs*]

Ok...so we already received our MB for our upcoming trip, but then I check on MyDisneyExperience and see I can order AP MB, too. So I did! Will all of our info (ressies, FP, hotel) be logged onto BOTH bands? It will be fun to change MB each day with different colors if that is the case. Also, (and please forgive me as I am NOT tech-savy) what about the FP that I am ever changing around? Will the most current itinerary be the one that will be on the MB as I scan them, or have I now messed everything up by not only ordering another set, but also changing up my times of FP?
Thanks in advance!!

1. Well, sorta.
2. Yes, both bands will work just fine.

There is nothing "ON" the bands.

Just to keep things as clear as possible-

There is no reservation info, or ticket info, or credit card info,
or FP+ info "put onto" a MagicBand.

The MagicBands just contain a unique serial number that is used
to access the information that is stored in your MyDisneyExperience computer file.

So, even if you were to lose a MagicBand, the info stays locked in your file.
Disney can just set up a new band (different serial number)
to access the info in your MDE file.
Disney can also issue ADDITIONAL MB's to a guest and each
additional band can be used for the same purposes as the first band.
So, yes, there can be multiple MB's per person, and each of them can be used by that person.

The MagicBand works like the combination to a locked safe, or a key to a locked door.

Why does this distinction matter?
Because there is so much fear about losing bands and,
in turn, losing all of a guest's information thought to be on the band.

The MB, itself, is not the file of info or the container of the info.
The MB just unlocks the file of info, allowing it to be accessed from your MDE account when needed.

Either set will get you what you want. I changed fp+ so much it wasn't funny and I used multiple bands and rfid card at various times during trip.
