Magic Bands

[yaksack]

We just received our new magic bands after thinking our DD lost hers. As fate would have it, she found it. One of the new ones was ordered in a wrong color. Can we use some of our new magic bands and some of the old ones as well?

Thank you!

As long as they are linked to your MDE you can use them

As long as each magic band is connected to someones MDE (they come from Disney attached if on site or AP bands), then that person can use any band they have that's active. Many people have 5+ bands.

The old ones are from 2017. Can they be used? What is a MDE?

Yes.

In case it's not clear from the other posts, a guest cannot use an old band that was assigned to someone else, only one that they themselves have used and is still linked to their profile in MDE.

We've been told that once assigned they're non-transferable, even with no tickets/entitlements attached.

Each MB should be assigned to a MDE account. You can have multiple MB assigned to one person, but you cannot have a MB assigned to multiple accounts. I have 4 different MB and could use any one of them on any given day at the parks and they would all work as they are assigned to my MDE account.

I would only opt to get new bands if a band is older than 3 years.

I would only add for clarification that each band can only be assigned to one “profile” rather than “account”. I have multiple family members on my account, who don’t want to be bothered with having their own.

Just don’t want anyone to think that you can switch bands within different profiles on your account.
