Can you use old magic bands?

[DisneyBliss7]

We have our old magic bands from a previous trip. A friend of mine is going in April and staying off property. Can I let them use our old ones so they don't have to buy their own? How would they activate them and attach their park tickets? They are buying tickets from undercover tourist.

Old magic bands can be reused but not transferred to others.

And they don’t HAVE to buy magic bands. They can use the hard card ticket.

1. No.
2. Can't be done.
Sorry.

Just using the plastic card tickets will work fine for park entry and FP purposes.
(Thousands of guests just use the plastic tickets.)
But, if they want to automatically "activate" the on-ride photos and videos that certain attractions offer
(some of which can ONLY be activated by a Magic Band) at least one of those guests
must buy and wear a MB.

YOU can use YOUR old bands.
Your friends CANNOT use your old bands.
Once a band is linked to a person its linked to that person alone.
Tell them to purchase their own or just use their ticket.
