Magic Band Cutomization

Does it matter if you customize your bands before you link your tickets?

Does it matter if you customize your bands before you link your tickets?

Nope.

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.

The MagicBands just contain (and weakly "transmit") 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.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. My daughter read in the vacation planner we received in the mail today that we could customize our magic bands TODAY! Of course, being a 6 y.o. princess fanatic, she wanted to do it immediately.

If you are talking about customizing in MDE before you get them, all that means is picking a color and choosing a name to put on the MB.

Yeah, I get that, but I am not taking one shred of excitement my daughter has about this trip away from her. Even if that just mean picking out a color and deciding what we want on the back.
