Can you let someone borrow your MagicBand?

MagicBands are a great addition to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation because they give you easy access to your theme park tickets, Lightning Lane reservations, and Disney PhotoPass account. MagicBands are non-transferrable once they have been linked to a Guest.

You are not required to purchase new bands for each stay. If you have older MagicBands, Disney encourages you to bring those with you. Alternatively, if you don't have a MagicBand and don't want to purchase one, you may get a Key to the World card at your resort and use that to unlock your door and enter your room.

You are definitely able to have multiple MagicBands that you use during your trip and you can use them all interchangeably, as long as all of the MagicBands are linked to your My Disney Experience account. You can verify that your MagicBands are linked by visiting your MagicBands & Cards page.

If you do not plan to use Genie+, DAS or take many PhotoPass photos, you probably do not need a MagicBand at Disneyland. If you want to play games and see the band light up with entertainment, as well as use it for Lightning Lanes and PhotoPass, then it may be worth it.

Guests staying off property can purchase Magic Bands at the Walt Disney World Resort upon arrival or at shopDisney. These bands have many of the same perks where you can link your park ticket and account to the band to use it for admission, Genie+ reservations and more.
