This may sound like a bit of a strange question, but are the Magic Band scanners on most attractions on the right or left side? Just want to figure out what wrist my Magic Band should go on :) For the life of me, I can't remember where I wore it two years ago lol.

They are on both sides. I can't recall an instance where there was only one scanner, and when the scanners weren't working there was a CM with a handheld.

Doesn't really matter which wrist. Just turn the Mickey head to the scanner and it's fine. I switch wrists at times during our stays and never a problem and even switch scanner sides.

I like to keep my MagicBand on my left arm and use my right hand for park entrance turnstiles. Then.....
I leave it on that same arm
all
day
long.

Some times I get real crazy and switch between my magic band and my Passholder card, just because I can.

Either way no problems at Fast Pass swipe stations.

But that's me.

It's kinda like Left or Right side Twix. Which one tastes better.

My oldest son like to change it up and use a random finger for park entrance. Likes to see the blue no-no light and make CM's work for it.

That sounds like loads of fun for the people in line behind you. I bet they get a big kick out of it.
Yeah drives me nuts too. Finally I man handle his arms and push the band on the mickey reader and hold his correct finger on the scanner.
Boom, problem solved. Sometimes I get stares. LOL

I wear it on the left but will rotate the band inside or outside of my wrist depending on which side of the fast pass line I tap to.
