Passholder Magic Band Clip

Do the sliders work as a substitute for my AP Card when getting discounts on purchases?

My experience on my trip last week was that I needed to show my card whenever I purchased anything, food or souvenirs. That being said, there were times when CMs noticed the slider and commented that we were APs and asked to see the card so they could apply the discount.

Thanks for the info!

That's a bummer. Would be so much more useful if they were actually functional.

I'm aware there are issues, but it is easy to remove the old bands that are a couple of years old. I think I have 10 or 12 connected and I haven't had problems in that regard.

Yes, we never removed any, never had a reason to do so.

I believe that my wife had over 20. You figure that we started getting them five years ago, you get one for each AP, and then another every time you stay on site. I just looked, and I have 15 bands and cards on my account. What we will do with all of them, I am not quite sure. Today they all all thrown in one backpack. I can probably build a display of some sorts...

It's really easy to remove/disable the old bands on the website actually ... just go to MDE.com, select MagicBands and Cards and then you can select between Active/Inactive for bands:

I have read here, on various threads regarding problems with people's MDE accounts, that deactivating them on the website actually doesn't really do anything from the back end, and they are still treated the same as active ones. meaning if you have a problem from too many and too much info, deactivating them isn't enough and Disney IT has to actually go into your account and remove them. This is all from various threads here, not personal experience, so i can't be sure. I know I probably have 30 on my account, and my family members have many as well, and we always have trouble with MDE, seeing my MBs and cards, customizing MBs, and using the ones I have as active in the account on our room door the CL elevator, the resort entrance, etc. I only keep 4-5 listed as active, the rest show inactive, but they still seem to bog everything down when we try to trouble shoot these problems either over the phone or in person while on vacation.

I had an issue at Yacht Club in April and the front desk at Club Level just deactivated all of mine except for my two D&B MBs and all has been fine since then.
