Magic bands

[cmusschoot]

I have a friend staying at Shades of Green this summer. This is not my main question...why don't they have magic bands??

My real question is:I have several magic bands from past trips, would she be able to use one of them?

They say they are non transferable...but they are selling them now...
Any experience?

I don't believe that Shades of Green is technically a Disney resort. I'd have to check, but I think that it has lots of restrictions the standard Disney resorts don't have. Edit: Shades of Green is owned by the Department of Defense, not Disney. That's why they don't use MagicBands.

No, MagicBands are not transferable in any way, even if you disconnect them from your MDE account. They can certainly buy them if they wish, but there is likely no point, they have limited utility outside of unlocking your room and charging to the room.

SOG is owned by the DoD, not Disney.

There is no need for them to have a magic band. They can pre-order their tickets through SOG and set their FP reservations 30 days prior. Magic Bands will not open their doors or allow them to charge purchases.

I did read today that Disney plans to eventually include SOG on the 60 day FP+ reservations.

Thanks for the quick response...

There are other benefits that I see besides the room key.

It is really nice when traveling with kids to not have to pass out and fumble around with tickets at park entrance and also with fast passes, everyone has theirs on their wrist.

Just a nice benefit.
