Reassigning A Magic Band?

MagicBand+ Support now allows MagicBand+ to be reassigned to another ticket or pass. A MagicBand+ can only be linked to one Disney account, and if you want to let someone else borrow the band due to its color or design, you can swap out the center. You can also reassign a ticket or Magic Key pass to your MagicBand at any time or unlink it if needed.

Guests can manually opt in to reuse an old MagicBand when preparing for a visit. However, once a MagicBand is attached to a Guest’s My Disney Experience Account, it cannot be transferred to another guest. Once assigned to an individual, the MagicBand forever lives with that guest.

To reassign a MagicBand, call customer service at 939-4357 or see a cast member at guest services. Once used, MagicBands cannot be reassigned. They can be used to open resort doors but not for tickets or other purposes. To reassign a MagicBand+, tap the name under the band you want to reassign, choose another person to assign it to, and follow the instructions provided by Disney World.

In general, guest services can load an offsite ticket on a used MagicBand+, but there is no way to know if a band will take new data sometimes. To reassign a MagicBand+, go to the MagicBand+ section of the app, tap the name under the band you want to reassign, choose another person to assign it to, and follow the instructions provided.
