Hey there, Kathy, and a warm, magical welcome to planDisney!
Ooooh, I love that you’re already planning ahead for your 2026 adventure! That’s the kind of Disney dedication that earns an honorary Minnie bow! It sounds like your
MagicBands are ready for their next adventure if they’re showing as “active.” Once linked, your MagicBands will remember who they belong to, not what trip they’re for. Like a personal key to the kingdom that’s just waiting for its next use!
Here’s the enchanted part: when you add your new tickets and resort reservation to
My Disney Experience, everything will automatically link to the Guests listed in that booking. So if your friend is coming along, and her band is connected to her profile through your
Friends & Family List, she’ll be all set to tap in and start her magical day, no extra pixie dust required!
Once you have everything linked, have her look over her My Disney Experience account to make sure everything is populated on her end, and bibbidi, bobbidi, boo! You're both ready for your next Disney adventure book moment!
You’re doing such a great job prepping early, and trust me, there’s nothing quite like that feeling of hearing your MagicBand “boop” at the entrance gates. That’s the sound of the magic beginning!
Wishing you all the Disney joy (and the happiest countdown ever) until it’s time to tap in again!
With pixie dust and planning magic,
Emille
