Adding Tickets to Magic Bands

[Donna3271]

Hi All,
If you purchase your park tickets after the Magic Bands are shipped, can you still add them to your bands on the website or does it have to be done when you check in?

THANKS!

To be clear, nothing is ever "added to" a MagicBand.

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

The MagicBands just contain (and weakly "transmit") a unique serial number that is used to access the information that is stored in your MyDisneyExperience computer file.

Anything you add is placed in your MyDisneyExperience account.
So, whenever you connect your tickets to MDE, they will instantly be available
to use via your MBs.

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.

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.

Wow! Thanks for the detailed response.

I usually book tickets when I make my reservation, but the convention rate for park tickets just came out.

So the answer to my question is when my park tickets come in the mail, I can go on the website and add them to my reservation and all will be linked when I arrive.
