Hello,
Just wondering what happens if we buy magic bands for our upcoming trip (staying offsite) and for some reason one of the MB's gets lost. Can we just pull out the corresponding ticket from my wallet and use that to get into FP+ attractions and the next days theme park entrance?

Thanks

Yes. The RFID ticket is linked to your MDE account, the same way any MagicBand is.

Multiple MBs and be used, interchangeably with each other, and with a corresponding RFID ticket.
 
Our first trip my daughters friend lost hers on the rocking roller coaster, if you go to guest services in the park they will disable it and give you a new one
 
I always make sure that I get all the tabs in corresponding holes when I put on my band, which should keep it from falling off. Since the band is waterproof, you don't have to take it off to wash your hands.
 

I lost a magic band once coming out of Mickey's Philharmagic. By the time I realized it was gone and walked to guest services, it had already been "magically" delivered there, I'm assuming by a watchful CM. I think this probably happens a ton and CMs are trained to get them to guest services asap. If they don't have it, they can replace your band. I would also say that your chances of losing one are higher if you're putting a bag/backpack on/off a lot or carrying a small child - just a lot of things to snag on. If they are securely fastened, they won't come off even if you wildly wave your arms. It's when they get snagged on something that I have had a problem. Also, I would recommend buying a BitBelt. We did for our last trip and I'll never do WDW without them again. Such peace of mind!
 
DS lost his....didn't notice for awhile. He had two, so switched to the other and we disabled the lost one
 
My son lost his Magic band in Walmart, we were staying off-property. We went to guest services who disabled his band. We didn't really expect to get another one as we not staying on property but the vey kind cast member asked if we would like a new one. They were very helpful and accommodating.
 
my son lost his on Dinosaur at AK....we had pictures show up in our Memory Makers for the rest of the night-even empty vehicles! He was given a card that linked him for the rest of our fast passes and a day later we were able to pick up our magic band at lost and found (just outside the magic kingdom). Found out that if your magic band ends up at the main lost and found hub...they are deactivated (had problems getting into the park) but can be reactivated.
 
My daughter lost hers going to get an ice cream before illuminations. I went to guest Services at the entrance to Epcot with no luck. They told me if it was found, it would be sent to the main lost and found at the Trans HUB. I was able to get a new band (plain gray color) the next morning at our hotel lobby desk. I called the main transportation HUB the next morning, and they did not have it, but took my name and number. Later that evening I got a call from them saying it was found at Epcot the night she lost it, and sent to the HUB. I was able to go pick it up. From the conversations I had, if you lose it and it is turned in, it will go to the guest service (lost and found) for that park until the end of that day. At the end of that day, it is sent to the main lost and found at the Transportation HUB.

Just to be clear for others, what you are calling the "Transportation HUB" is actually called "TTC"
(Transportation and Ticket Center) at the MK parking lot.

Wouldn't want guests to get LOST on the way to LOST and FOUND. ;)
