    My family has old Magicbands from our 2018 visit. I assume they no longer work since they are not rechargeable, but they are still linked to our accounts. I do not want to spend money purchasing new bands. What will our tickets and photos be linked to?

    Welcome to planDisney, Kelli! I'm so happy to know you will be visiting the Walt Disney World next month! Thanks for sending us your planning question. 

    There's a very good chance that your family's older MagicBands will work for your upcoming visit. As long as a valid theme park ticket is linked to them, you can use them, so I would definitely bring them along. 

    If for some reason they don't work, you can enter the theme parks with a digital ticket. The Disney MagicMobile service allows you to hold  a smartphone up to an access point at the park entrance to serve as your ticket.

    You can set up your pass in a few easy steps. First, tap the “☰” icon on your My Disney Experience App. Scroll to “Set Up MagicMobile Entry” and select “Set Up Your Pass.” You may then add the pass to your digital wallet. All done!

    If you are staying at a Disney hotel you may request a complimentary Key to the World Card at the front desk to enter the theme parks and your Disney hotel room. You have a bunch of great options! 

    Kelli, I hope I've been helpful. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always our pleasure to help you with all the details of your next vacation!
