We have no expire tickets plus waterpark option purchased from Undercover Tourist from 6 years ago with 5 days left on them. Can we link these to our MDE account? We may only stay onsite for the last 2-3 days of the trip, offsite for the first part. If we are room only, would we still get magic bands for that stay? Can we put our old tickets on them? We will not, however, use all 5 days. We're planning on 2 parks days and 2 waterpark days.

My learning curve for Magic bands and FP+ is steep! TIA for your help!

1- Yes. Try putting their NUMBERS into your MDE account in the tickets section.
2- Yes.
3- Well, if you link the tickets to your MDE account, yes, you will be able to use the MagicBand to access the tickets.**
4- That's fine. The unused portion will remain in your MDE account for future use.
5- It's a whirlwind of info that is constantly being amended.


**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.
 
Go to MDE and try to link your tickets. I have heard that some of the older tickets can't be linked. If you can't link them, I think your old tickets will need to changed out to the new RFID tickets before they can be linked.

I changed out some of our really old non-expire tickets for RFID enabled tickets on our last trip a couple of weeks ago. They were so old that I did not think they could be linked to MDE without the exchange.
