Magic Band+ can now be used for embarkation/disembarkation at all ports

I am sorry for the redundancy here.... Can you confirm it needs to be a Magic Band + which is different from the old Magic Bands?

Yes, mb+

Yes, it needs to be the MB+, the one that’s rechargeable and can have a design on the puck that is themed the same as the rest of the MB, like my Oswald here. (I removed the puck from the band and put it in a watchband slider so I can have my watch, too.)

No. You can have as many bands as you want. We went to Disney World last time with about three bands per person. They just have to be assigned to you.

I think DCL will only allow one to be active at a time though. MDE you can have as many active as you want for WDW

Just got a survey from DCL after our recent fantasy cruise. Multiple questions about using your phone as a key card. I would love that!

Thank you. I didn't think the two would be different but I suppose so.

They have added an option to Manage your DisneyBand+ in the DCL Navigator app. This was added after my last cruise, so I don't know if it will allow you to select which band you want to be active. My next cruise is in Oct, so I will see what that option does then.

Honestly, getting ours linked at the port was a hot mess, the woman checking us in couldn't get them linked to our room so we had to go to guest services or something up the stairs.

In Nassau, their tablet (port screening officers) allow to scan a MagicBand, so I suspect Disney made the technology available where needed

I am not sure I like this, but hey if it works.... A private company providing their technology to the foreign governments. Pretty soon the ports will have a tablet for each ship that is docked so they can check everyone in coming into the port. And since it is a company and not a government it probably works too!
