A new option on My Disney Experience lets guests decline MagicBands for each person listed on their MDE account. It's easy to decline MagicBands for an upcoming trip. Sign into a My Disney Experience account and follow these steps:
- Click on “MagicBands and Cards” from the MDE pulldown menu. A list will appear showing all pending trips.
- Click on “Customize” for the trip or trip segment to be modified.
- A “Customize Your MagicBands” screen will appear. To cancel shipment of a MagicBand, click on the “Decline MagicBand” link on this screen. Users who manage MDE accounts for other family members or friends must decline MagicBands for each member.
Guests scheduling split stays across multiple Walt Disney World resort must repeat this process for each individual reservation.
Note that each individual's MagicBand(s) are linked to their My Disney Experience account. A single MagicBand can be re-used for multiple resort stays and even multiple vacations, as long as the band continues to function. The active transmitters embedded in Disney MagicBands are expected to last for a period of 2-3 years.
