My DH and I are staying off-site in January when we go.
We have already purchased our tickets from Disney (we received the RFID cards).
1. Can we purchase magic bands when we get there and
1b. have our current plastic card tickets put on there instead?
2. Where would we go to get that done?
1a. Yes. $12.95 per band, plus tax.
2. Any ticket booth or Guest Relations.
1b. You will be able to CONNECT the tickets and MagicBands together in your MyDisneyExperience files.
Go
HERE right now and connect the Tickets that you have
to a
MDE account in your name.
(You might already have an account. If not, create one.)
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.
