MDE question about MB and old cards

[blackpearl77]

I have a question about MDE. The last time we went to disney was in 2013 and we didn't have magic bands we had those keys to the kingdom cards. I noticed in MDE the cards are still listed in there and they are active. I was going to order the magic bands for our upcoming trip. Should I de-activate the old cards that are in the system or leave them alone? It has a button to click on that says active or not active. Will having active cards in there mess up the magic bands and mess up reservations?

You can just leave them alone and it will be fine. If you have any RFID media you can use it all interchangeably - for example, I have about 8 magic bands by now, an annual pass, and some old party tickets. All give me the same park entry privileges since they are all tied to my My Disney Experience account. I'm not sure if they would all work for room charging privileges or as room keys, but I suspect they would. If you want to be safe, you can certainly deactivate them, but having old active media will not mess up your ability to order and use your new magic bands. HAVE FUN!
