Tickets on magic bands

[toni nicole]

Last time I was in the park(first time using magic bands) we were pulled out of line and told something was wrong with our bands. We had to go to guest relations and show I.D. And our bands had been linked to wrong people etc. My question is when you have tickets on your magic band do you still have to "pick them up" at will call, show I.D. Etc. or was just a mishap on our MBs.

You do not have to pick up the actual tickets, but it can be a good idea to do so (at your leisure) to have as a back=up in case you have any problems with the MBs (as you did last time.)

As a point of order, and 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.


A MagicBand just contains (and weakly "transmits") 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.



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.
