Declining magicbands

I’ve declined magicbands many times, but on the new version of MDE I’m not seeing anywhere to decline. I clink on a name and it just comes up with the choices of color etc. I have a 3-way split stay with 5 people coming up and I definitely don’t need all those new magicbands.

I think the only place to do it these days is through online check in. FYI- online check in seems to only be working on the app these days.

Thanks @PT That’s exactly what I just found. The website didn’t work for check in but the app did. And during the check in process, I was able to edit the Magicbands section and click the box to decline.

I’m having trouble getting online checkin to work. This is a common problem?

It only works in the app for most people, are you trying there? My son could only get it to work after he linked a credit card.

I was only able to get it to work through the app. I had to remove my credit card from mde and the website. Then it let me through. Online checkin complete!

Declining MagicBands does not seem to work. My last two trips (Jan. & Feb.) I declined them in my online check-in, yet still got notifications that MagicBands were waiting for me at the resort to be picked up on arrival. I have numerous active bands and don’t need/want more. We’ll see what happens for my trip next month – for which I have declined them again.

I was thinking about making magic band garland for the Christmas tree

I’ve had the same thing happen. Just got the notification that they would be waiting at the resort for me despite declining.
