Campsite MagicBands and arriving day before

[nervous1sttimer]

I have an upcoming trip in January and wanted to get a campsite for the first night, but they are all booked! The best we could get is one night on the second day of our trip. We already bought our 6-day MYW tickets from UCT, and I have them in hand but have not linked them to MDE yet.

Disney does not ship MagicBands to Canada. So if I link my UCT tickets in MDE and make MagicBands, I won't be able to pick them up until Day 2 of our trip. Would I be able to enter the parks on Day 1 using our RFID hard tickets or not, if they have already been assigned to MagicBands?

1. Would I be able to enter the parks on Day 1 using our RFID hard tickets or not,
2. if they have already been assigned to MagicBands?

1. Yes.
2. You can use MBs and RFID tickets interchangeably.

Tickets are not "assigned to" MBs.

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.



A MagicBand just contains (and weakly "transmits") 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.



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.
