Yes, you can use just one set of the bands for both stays. Both bands will be connected to your MDE account (you can disable one if you wish, but there's no need to). Either band will open the door for both rooms, and both will access your tickets, FP+ and charging ability.
Remember, the bands are only a link to your MDE account - they don't actually contain any information on them about you. I currently have 5 sets of active bands (with another set in the mail as we speak). Four of those were the result of one trip (a split stay, AP purchase and a correction to that AP purchase). All four were interchangeable.

If you only want one set then you should only customize only the first set. The second set you can then choose to not accept them and they will then be wiped of information and returned for reuse/recycling.
Called yesterday to double check and they are clones of each other. If my DD wants to wear the blue one on Tuesday and pink one on Wednesday, perfectly fine.

My son actually had to wear two different ones because of issues. We were held up at the park entrance for over 30 minutes with a CM trying to work issues out. I just don't want to go thru that again.
Yes. I called DVC member services yesterday to confirm. Check the mydisneyeperience app or website, and if all the reservations are grouped together, then all the magic bands will work. Same as having multiple room keys.
Yes, I'm sure. We were there in October on a split stay. I had both sets of bands. All of them opened the door at the first resort. All of them opened the door at the second resort. All of them were used for admission, FP+ and charging.Quote:
