There will be a big change in the way that Magic Band purchased at Walt Disney World will be activated. Â Previously when guests purchased the Magic Bands, the cast member would link it for them at the register after purchase. Â Now, guests that purchase Magic Bands from the parks and other locations around Walt Disney World will be able to link the bands for themselves. Â The bands are able to be linked to the guest account through the “Link it Later” section within My Disney Experience. Â It is a fairly quick process and can be done by a computer or smartphone.
This change will make things much easier for the cast members and from other guests in the stores waiting for purchases. Â Linking the Magic Band was an extra step for them and definitely added to the length of time it takes guests to get through the lines within the different stores. Â The guests that are purchasing the Magic Bands may or may not like this change, since it was definitely convenient to have the cast member do it for them. Â It seems like it is an easy process for the guests, so it shouldn’t be difficult for them to manage on their own. Â We are sure the cast members are absolutely thrilled about this change!
What do you all think about linking your own Magic Bands? Â Have any of you tried it out yet?
