We have park tickets from
undercover tourist that I already have linked in My Disney Experience. We did online checkin. We arrive tomorrow and have a real short window to get checked in and get over to Epcot for our Soarin' FP.
1. Do we have to transfer our tickets to our magic bands when we arrive
2. or is that already essentially done?
1. No.
2. Yes, sort of.
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,
but their entitlements will all be common and identical.
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.
