Have a look in your MDE account where all your bands show up. You might be able to see the sequence there and know which are oldest (I can't recall offhand)Thank you all! I have a few bags of magicbands. I hope I can figure out the newest ones? Anyway to check them to see if they "work"?
Thank you. I found the 5 that we had. I will look on my disney app and try to figure it out. Appreciate it!Have a look in your MDE account where all your bands show up. You might be able to see the sequence there and know which are oldest (I can't recall offhand)
FYI I found that the list of my MBs on the MDE website was more accurate than on the MDE app.Thank you. I found the 5 that we had. I will look on my disney app and try to figure it out. Appreciate it!
Thank you. You saved me $50. Haha. A few meals at Counter service!FYI I found that the list of my MBs on the MDE website was more accurate than on the MDE app.
If the MBs you have are marked as Active in the MDE list, you're good to go - they'll work for anything that requires tapping Mickey to Mickey but may or may not work for linking long-distance ride photos. If they're marked as Inactive, a simple click should make them Active again!
with five of us... we need a lot of ports and plugs. I'm also recharging multiple power banks and a camera battery.We each have multiport wall chargers that we plug in at the resort to charge all our stuff. We don't need power strips, and such, but it is a mess. Oh and most resorts DO have USB ports (but they are only 5v/2A so really slow charging but good enough for the bands) in addition to AC wall sockets.
But in the parks, my wife, our son and I each carry our own bag with power bank and cords so we don't have to fight over who gets to charge what in the parks.
You can just select the bands for the people you want to order for and then check out.Hi! How can I order MagicBands for just 2 out of 4 members of our family from Disney MDE? I want to get our trip discount. My daughter and I got new ones two years ago. However, my husband and son haven't been since 2019, so they need new ones.
In MDE, I go in and select one for each of them, but then the screen stays on the page that says "select" under my name and my daughter's name. How do I move on to check out with just the 2 MagicBands?
You may have to go to each name and click Decline for anyone who won’t be getting a new MB. That may be Disney’s way to let people know that they can place only one MB order to cover everyone on that reservation.Hi!

Thanks for the advice! Maybe I'll wait a few weeks and decide later because the orange bird band is very tempting.You can just select the bands for the people you want to order for and then check out.
Just a note that once you’ve purchased for some of the people in your party, you will not be permitted to go in and purchase for the rest at a later time.
All you want to buy have to be purchased at the same time,
We still use our MB! Much more convenient to me than pulling out the phone or ticket card.First time back in over 2 years…first trip as a non AP since 2015. Question is has everyone ditched their magic bands for the phone app or are magic bands still very much in use? Daughter and I bought new magic bands our last trip and the “2 year battery life” has never applied as we’ve used magic bands after 3 or 4 years and they’ve still worked. This is sort of a last minute trip so playing catch up. We do plan to utilize VQ/G+/LL. Staying at the Swan reserve starting Sunday
I was wondering the same thing. We really don't want the Magic Band +, but there are very few choices online for regular bands. I'm wondering if there are regular Magic Bands sold in the parks so we can buy them when we get there. Curious if anyone has seen them.Does Disney sell the regular old magic bands anymore? We have no need for the fancier magic band plus.
The band has no impact on your eligibility for or use of VQ/G+/LL.First time back in over 2 years…first trip as a non AP since 2015.

I guess i need tofind some mb and try to figure out how to link them. thanks!You can just select the bands for the people you want to order for and then check out.

As far as I've been able to determine, yes that is correct, at least for the Fab 50 Quest and Batuu Bounty Hunter activities, assuming ALL in your party want to do the activity at the same time.This will be out first trip with MB+ and so far, I'm not a fan. We will be traveling with 2 people ( a child and a senior citizen) who do not have their own smartphones. As of now, I am in control of their bands. From what I am reading, I have to choose which person gets the bluetooth features? We can't all be connected to my phone and get the full use of the bands? That makes no sense to me. Am I understanding this right?
