MB room key question

[geniegirl]

i should know this but I need to verify if I have several MB linked to my name (AP, past trips) will any one work to open our resort room as long as they are all active on my account.

What I was thinking of doing was taking an extra older one of mine with us to give to the grands when they go back to the room to watch the baby. They will be staying in a different room. Will that work it's not for tickets since that is linked to my fingerprints but thought they could use it to just enter the room.

Yes.

Each member of our family has three MBs, and we brought them ALL on our trip last week....and they all worked both in the parks and as a room key.

As long as the band still shows as active in your MDE account, you should be able to do what you describe above.

Awesome thanks. That's what I assumed. I knew it was true for tickets but I wanted to be sure fir the room as well.

When we went in September, we had lots of issues with magic bands. I also have several MB's and only one of them would work as a room key. And that was after several trips to the desk. Based on the previous post, maybe my experience was unusual.

My last 2 trips (CBR and BWV), we brought 3 bands for each of the 4 of us. Of the 12 bands, only some worked to open the resort room (no rhyme or reason as to whose or how old they were). We went to the front desk at some point and they were able to "re-program" them or whatever or make them all work for room entry. None of them had issues with park entry. So, while they all should work, you might want to test them out first.

Yes - DH and I each have about 6 magic bands, most of which came with rooms but 1 set are special editions. All of them work with the room access, park, FP, and charging.

One caveat though - one of my MBs is an original from 2013 and it was being unreliable/wonky. A CM told me they are finding that battery life is about 2 years, so older ones may start malfunctioning or behaving erratically.
