Magic Band Credit Card On File Question

[MelaBella]

I'm sure a wonderful Disser or two has the answer to this question. Sadly, my experience has been that I will get an incorrect answer if I call Disney and ask.

We are taking my daughter's friend with us on our next WDW trip in two weeks. They are older teens. The friend is going to be responsible for paying for some of her meals and her souvenir spending. We have two rooms at Riverside. On one reservation is my husband and daughter and the other reservation is my daughter's friend and me. In reality, of course, my husband and I will share a room and the girls will share the other. Currently, my credit card is on file for both rooms. Is it possible for my daughter's friend to attach her own credit/debit card to her magic band and the rest of us have my credit card attached to our bands? What are my options here?

It's my understanding from reading (because we are in a similar situation) that you can attach different credit cards to different people in the same room. I have also seen that it can sometimes be a little glitchy, and others suggest going to the gift shop and getting something small right after doing it, and then going back to the front desk to have them check the charges to the room and make sure the separate credit cards are working.

I would assume that the credit/debit card has to be in her name (not in her parent's name). But, I suppose that's probably moot these days, my daughters were additional card holders on our credit card as soon as they had learner's permits - for gas and car emergencies.

Yes. Every time we go to Disney its my responsibility to pay for airfare and my fiancee pays for the room and park tickets. His card is on the room for incidentals. I had my card linked to my MB and my purchases went to my card. We had free dining so we used either or both bands when it came to meals. We even used the same PIN and didn't have an issue.

Thank you, both!
