1. They don't (can't) "recycle" MagicBands. Many times it just sounds politically correct to say "recycled" when the real facts are "disposed of" (safely.)1. It has been suggested by a number of CMs that it's a good idea to turn in old MagicBands, so they can be recycled, even Version 1.0.
2. That way, the inactive bands can be completely removed from a guest's MDX account, as guests are not able to do so on their own.
3. With many guests having issues with MBs, including not working for opening resort room doors, not working for park admittance, etc., is the returning of old bands the best way to resolve functionality issues?
4. Apparently, just deactivating the bands from MDX is not enough.
2. That's inaccurate. MBs can be fully "deactivated" by guests, themselves, in their MDX accounts.
3. There are lots of problems with Disney's tech for MBs and FPs and just about anything else.
(Heck, read these boards for a month -a week!)
4. Most CMs just repeat rumors they've heard, so don't put too much stock in that.
All that said, if you just WANT to "turn in" your old MBs... that's OK, too.
Just make sure that they are deactivated in your MDX account.
