Magic Band Questions

[Dpflake]

My upcoming trip will be the first time I will be using a Magic Band. I’m a little confused when it comes to linking it with tickets. When I go on MDE it shows that both my husband and I have 2 bands linked to each of us. I’m thinking one of the bands was from our canceled trip from last year. We never received those bands. The other one that is linked to each of us are the ones I ordered for our upcoming September trip. I can’t tell which band is for upcoming trip, since I haven’t received it in the mail yet. Do I need to wait until I receive those bands before I can link the tickets? How difficult is it to link our theme park tickets? I’m going to be purchasing them from a website that has been recommended from several people on these boards. Plus I’m booked just a room so I could take advantage of the discount. Do I just use the reservation number to link room? Will all the dining reservations automatically be added to band or is that something I also need to link manually? I know it’s probably a simple task but I just don’t want to mess anything up. TIA

Just make sure the current bands are activated in MDE. It’s like having 10 copies of a key to your house. You only need one key with you to open the door… not all 10. There will be an ID number on the band when you receive it. You don’t need to wait for the bands to arrive to link your tickets.

It’s easy to link the 3rd party tickets in MDE. They should send you a confirmation number that you can link in MDE and then assign each ticket to someone in your party.

As long as you make the dining reservations while signed into MDE, you’ll be good to go. It will link automatically.

Magic Bands are person-specific and link to your MDE account. Any and all active bands will provide the assigned person with everything on the My Disney Experience account that person is attached to; resort room, park tickets, booked tours, dining, everything.

Just double check that the MB is linked to your account. You can have more than 1 band linked to an account, but I believe each band can only be linked to 1 account.

Nothing is linked to the band. It is all linked to your MDE account. As long as the tickets, hotel, dining, etc. are all linked and showing in your MDE account, any MagicBand linked to that person will access it.
