Do Disney hotel guests get free MagicBands?

Starting in 2021, guests can purchase a Magic Band if they want to use one during their stay. So unfortunately, Magic Bands are no longer free. If you aren't staying at a Disney hotel you can still buy and use a Magic Band, though what you can do with it will be limited (more on this below).

It is perfectly acceptable to reuse an old MagicBand on your next trip. The official word from Walt Disney World is that the battery life of a band is expected to be about 2 years. However, I personally have older ones that are still going strong! So, bring your MagicBands and try it!
