We got our daughter's
DAS linked to our Magicbands today at Epcot.
We had brought DD's last paper DAS with us, which did speed up the process. The CM read the QR code (the square with a bunch of squiggly lines, which linked to her DAS account in the Disney computer.
Then, the CM read her Magicband to link the DAS to it - be prepared that the Magicband will need to be removed for scanning. The CM scanned it,
but also looked at the number that is printed on the inside of the band.
Everyone in our group needed to remove their Magicbands to be scanned to link to DD's DAS.
The CM apparently could see that we had renewed the DAS several times previously. He told us that the system would work the same as it did with the paper DAS -
- anyone in our group could get a Return Time
- one Return Time active at a time
- DD would have to ride in order to use the DAS
- we needed to scan DD's Magicband at the attraction first in order for the system to recognize the DAS Return Time.
- the CM indicated the Return Time may or may not show up in My Disney Experience.
Getting a Return Time was problem free for us. DH did ask to take a picture of the screen after the CM had arranged it. The CM did allow it, but said they were not supposed to (I have no other knowledge, but wonder if some people have tried altering pictures or something and then claiming the system lost their Return Time.)
Using it was very simple also. We scanned DD's band, the light glowed blue and the CM looked at the screen, checked DD against her picture and then we all scanned and ours turned green. At the second scan point, all turned green.
