Magic Bands 101

I've heard bandits fall off these bands quite easily.

Thanks for the FitBit info! Still wishing for a purple magic band...

I got a gray one and painted it purple with purple nail polish then put glitter nail polish over that. It is really cute, and lots of CMs asked me about it.

Great idea! If they won't supply purple, we'll make our own

We have 3 sets of bands for our upcoming split stay at 3 different WDW resorts, will these all be shipped to me at once or separately?

Hoping someone can help me please - I have read through a lot of the thread but cannot find an answer to my question or may have missed it sorry!

I have a 14 day UK pass and we want to visit MK for the last day of our holiday so have bought a ticket direct from Disney. I have linked it on MDE and everything is OK there - do I still need to print out the will call PDF it has supplied for me? Are the tickets not on my magic band ready to go?

Also, same thing for MNSSHP. I have 2 sets of 2 park tickets linked already - do I still need to print tickets at home? Thanks so much - this is the 1st real question I have stumbled with with regards to MDE and the bands!

Hello!

I am packing for a 10 night 3 resort split stay. We are staying at Pop on the night of our late arrival, 8 nights at Boardwalk Villas on rented points, our departure night at Port Orleans - Riverside. Because of this, each person in our party has 3 sets of magic bands and one from a previous trip. All 4 are linked to our MDE account and profile.

My question is this, can we use any of the bands for room charging and opening our resort doors? I am (nearly) positive that any of our bands will gain us park entry and FP+ access. I just want to be sure before I tell my wife she can wear her Port Orleans band on the first night (she likes the pink one best).

Thanks,

Yes, all the bands should work. We took several sets with us on our last trip. My DD has four bands now. I checked all of them at the door to our room when we arrived and they all worked fine.

The bands are attached to your MDE account, not your room specifically, that is why they are interchangeable.

Have a great trip.

Does anyone know if you can specify a different shipping address for your Magic Bands? I'm keep our trip a surprise and my DD is home before anyone else and gets the mail every afternoon. She'd for - sure question a MB delivery and the surprise would be gone.

Thanks. For some reason I was thinking the MBs we received for out last trip wasn't disguised... but maybe I'm just picturing the white box, forgetting there was an outer box. Can anyone else confirm???

I confirm it is a plain brown box.

Quick question I didn't see answered in the first post...

We have our custom colored Magic Bands from last year that we used and have all our tickets linked to, then just last week we got another set (didn't even realize it and they are the boring gray gray) for our family for our trip coming up this week. Do we need to bring the new ones or will the ones from last year work just fine too?

I'm interested in hearing an answer for this too. We too have colored/modified wrist bands that we got on our last trip that we want to use for our upcoming trip. I'm hoping we don't get the boring grey bands too.

You can wear any of them.
