Magic Band - which wrist?

[quest4dl]

Does it matter which wrist I wear it on? I ALWAYS wear a watch on my left wrist and was planning to wear the magic band on my right. BUT are most scanners to the left? It would seem for resort parking it would have to be.

It doesn't matter which side you put it on. If you find you don't like it there.... switch it to the other wrist.

Most of the time, ride wise, they have a scanner on each side of the line. So, it actually helps speed up the process if you and another person in your party wear them on opposite sides. I wear mine on the left, DD on the right, and we scan at the same time and go through.

Get an annual pass to get a second magic band and wear one on each wrist

For rides and park entrances, it really won't matter as they have scanners on both sides. Your biggest annoyance will be the door into your resort room...if you have a right-opening door, you'll want the band on your right wrist, and for a left-opening door, your left wrist. Otherwise, the angle at which you have to hold the band to unlock the door gets awkward after awhile.

I also wear a large watch on my left wrist. The first day I tried to wear both the watch and Magic Band on my left wrist and that didn't work so I moved the band to my right hand. Worked fine. For parking, I just took it off and held it up with my left hand. My arm was too short to be able to reach my wrist to the parking scanner anyways. I found that the angle needed to open the hotel room was awkward no matter what arm I used.

TRUST ME
It's no big deal!

I liked wearing mine on my camera bag and my kids wore theirs on their lanyards. Anything works just go with what you are comfortable with

I "practiced" wearing my MB at home before the trip - I wear a watch on my left wrist when I'm out of the house but take it off as soon as I'm home, and don't wear any other jewelry. The MB felt weird and uncomfortable on my usually bare right wrist. Luckily my watch isn't too big and I just wore the MB on the left next to my watch. It felt fine there and honestly I didn't even think about it most of the time.

I didn't have to deal with parking at WDW, but had no problem with room door, park entry, FP+ lines.
