Howdy Neighbors! I have heard that Magic Bands say “Welcome Home” when band is scanned into park and/or resort. Is this true? Is it also true for resale members?

Thanks!

It's been hit or miss since they introduced the MagicBand+, but yes the tapstile ring does turn a different color (purple, magenta, pink, etc., depending on your perspective), and it (the tapstile, not the Magicband) does say "Welcome Home".

I'm not sure if it works for direct owners only, or not, but it works for us (direct). There is also some debate if it works for associate members on direct contracts, but I've never paid attention to it.

Congrats on the 4 resorts Don!
 

AS others have said, it is hit and miss. It didn;t work at all when I was there in January. Worked everyday when I was there in June.
 
I own both resale and direct and it worked for me before I was a direct member.

It worked every time for me this past June so maybe they worked the kinks out???

Yes for resale members. But only those who have their own login to the DVC Member website, their own MDE account, and set up MagicMobile on their phones.

Hit and miss for us as well. Not sure about resale experience.
 
We are DVC Y, have MDE log-ins, and did all the Magic Mobile stuff - and neither my wife or I have ever gotten anything different than the regular green light.
 
Seems to be completely random….we had our first stay as Dvc Owners last September (Direct buyers) both of us have out own account sign in plus Magic mobile and MDE account yet we only got the purple ‘Welcome home’ once at Typhoon Lagoon during our 15 night stay!!
