Husband won't wear Magic Band--what to do?

[G00fyDad]

I am fully Anti-band. I think I will be doing a little hack job on mine and just keeping it in my pocket.

I absolutely and completely love the bands. Perfect for us. However, there are so many people that do not want them that they should offer other "options", like keychains, pendants, etc...

That'd be nice. Hopefully they get around to that at some point.

Clip it to his belt or wear it around his ankle and pretend he's Linsey Lohan, just kidding about that but the belt loop thing should work.

That's funny right there.

What a good idea, GOOfyDad! I told my husband and he said he liked it but he will still be getting a card so he can do his little part in protesting the bands and the money that Disney used for them instead of new attractions.

Not sure if this was mentioned but 1) KTTW cards are no longer offered but you can still request them. They are used for your room key / charging back to your room ONLY. FP+ is no longer included. 2) Request a separate card for your pass/ticket (green with a character on it.) This is for park admission / FP+.

Your husband can carry both cards in his wallet. Problem solved. The MB is a convenience -- nothing more.

He can carry it in a pocket or bag (or your purse, lol). I won't be wearing mine - can't stand wearing things on my wrists.

Like Tom, I also can't stand anything on my wrist, so my plan is to wrap the band around the strap of my crossbody bag.

FastPass+ still works if you only get a Key to the World. It is FastPass that is being removed. Everybody is going to be using FastPass+ soon regardless of what type of admission they have or if they have a Key to the World card or a MagicBands. As of right now early FastPass+ plus reservations are limited to those staying at Disney resorts, but there is no discrimination based on ticket type or media.

Just looked it up. You're right. Even better. You have more redundancy built in by wearing your MB and bringing your KTTW and AP/ticket cards.
