Magic Bands — did you know this?

I was looking for a different photo and found this which I think belongs in this thread.

I first started with one of every color (original and version 2) but I now seem to have an issue with speciality ones.

When I hit close to 30 bands linked in my account I started to have resort door/pool access issues. I only have 5 active (including this new one) but I wish I could delete all the old ones.

The only way I’ve deleted MBs is by calling (a huge pain). I have had door issues too.

This bothers me.
If you (generally) have such an amazing collection of magic bands I feel like you should be able to chop and change at will and wear a new one every day if you wanted to. Match them with your outfit. Match them with your mood. Match them to what park you’re visiting. Match them to your first ride and match them to your second ride!
I hate the idea that people have all these deactivated bands that they can’t use.

(NB I have a grand total of two, so it’s not a problem for me, but I still don’t like the idea).

I believe you can reactivate them easily in the app. You just need to deactivate one you’re not wearing.

Speaking of IT errors - not MagicBand related, but during the “ADR-gate” of 2020 where Disney inadvertently opened up ADRs for full capacity (?) even though restaurants weren’t operating at full capacity, Disney did give $25 in gift cards for each ADR they had to cancel.

Yay my new one came which I chose in honor of my Ariel (dog) that died in 2021. Her sister is also named Charlotte Belle so this represents one of the living dogs too as her middle name is for Beauty.

Am pleased to report that the first of the two MBs I ordered on eBay has arrived (UK seller). It’s the Christmas one and is so pretty. No problem linking it to my MDE.

(I tried to not get my VIP tour pins in the photo, but I just couldn’t get the right angle to cut them out. Sorry.)

The 50th anniversary one is currently in Erlanger, KY, which, as you all know, is the eBay Global Shipping Center.

I’m just chiming in here to state for the record that although I live in the “hoagie” section of Jersey (i.e. Southwest NJ) I REFUSE to call them hoagies, because they are and always will be a gd sub.
(Although I think mayo is nasty so I’ll take all the items on @OBNurseNH 's order and swap to oil and vinegar for the mayo.)

For real? You are joking, right? I live about 90 minutes from Erlanger and had no idea if this is really true.

It would be an odd thing for me to make up.

I had no idea about this. Very interesting…

If a US-based seller has an overseas buyer, they can ship their item to KY, where eBay will do all the customs documentation and then forward the item to the buyer. The buyer pre-pays shipping and duty. It’s all very convenient and efficient. If a bit expensive.

Very true!

The UK one is in Lichfield. It took me too many orders going to that same address to work it out. I kept thinking it was a really loyal repeat customer :woman_facepalming:t4::rofl::rofl:

Ummm, right.

In August when we were there you needed a magic band to enter the resort gate. After that you could use your apple watch for everything else. Seemed kind of silly at the time and I questioned it at the service desk and they confirmed it. If you are traveling such that you don’t need to enter the front gate by car then it should not be a big deal.

My 50th Anniversary MB has arrived. Looks great and successfully linked to my MDE. Though the keeper thing is difficult to use.
