Magic Band and park tickets HELP!

[RunningAriel]

I need some help! We will be heading down for the Wine and Dine half marathon in a few weeks!!! SQUEEEE!!!!! We have decided to go down early to enjoy some park time so we will have a separate resort stay from 11/3-11/6. On the 6th we move to another resort to stay 11/6-11/9 with friends for the race. THEN we will be off site for the night of 11/9 but are still planning of hitting a park on 11/10 before we fly out that night. My question is what about our park tickets? How will they transfer from resort stay to resort stay? Are just better off using the cards themselves? I do not relish the idea of wasting half my day at the resort trying to have someone convert or consolidate our bands. Thanks a million!

My question is what about our park tickets?

1. How will they transfer from resort stay to resort stay?
2. Are just better off using the cards themselves?
3. I do not relish the idea of wasting half my day at the resort trying to have someone convert or consolidate our bands. Thanks a million!

1. Tickets don't need to be "transferred." They are in your MyDisneyExperience file.
2. Not for any reason you named.
3. After you have checked into the first resort, the resorts have nothing to do with your tickets for the rest of your trip.
ALL of any MagicBands that you get will work for the entire trip, interchangeably.
Pick a different band to use every day, if you like.

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.

As long as everything is in your name and is linked to your MDE account you are golden. The only reason you would need to consolidate is if someone booked the other room and did not use your MDE when assigning you to the room.

You asked about tickets.
Tickets are not linked to a resort.
You can stay at any resort, change resorts, change to an off-site resort and continue to use your same tickets on your MDE account and MagicBands.
