It has been a few years since we have been to WDW and it seems that things have changed quite a bit.
Can someone give me some advice on the Magicbands and making FP?
1. I see that you can use them for dining reservations and for rides, even fireworks and parades.
2. Can someone explain the best way to use these. We will be there 2 days and do not have park hopper. I would like to use one for Be Our Guest for lunch and MK fireworks.
3. I also see they can be customized, where do you go to do this? Thank for helping!!
1. You don't use the BANDS for making reservations for meals and FP+.
(See #2b below.)
2a. You need to BUY (or already have) THEME PARK TICKETS.
2b. Go to
HERE and set up your
MyDisneyExperience account. THAT is where you make your reservations for FP+.
3. That is a function of making/having advance room reservations at a WDW Resort.
Many more details and FP+ priorities found
HERE.
Much to read and absorb.
--------
Just to keep things as clear as possible-
There is no reservation info, or ticket info, or credit card info,
or FP+ info "put onto" a MagicBand.
The MagicBands just contain a unique serial number that is used
to access the information that is stored in your MyDisneyExperience computer file.
So, even if you were to lose a MagicBand, the info stays locked in your file.
Disney can just set up a new band (different serial number)
to access the info in your
MDE file.
Disney can also issue ADDITIONAL MB's to a guest and each
additional band can be used for the same purposes as the first band.
So, yes, there can be multiple MB's per person, and each of them can be used by that person.
The MagicBand works like the combination to a locked safe, or a key to a locked door.
Why does this distinction matter?
Because there is so much fear about losing bands and,
in turn, losing all of a guest's information thought to be on the band.
The MB, itself, is not the file of info or the container of the info.
The MB just
unlocks the file of info, allowing it to be accessed from your MDE account when needed.
