Hey there, hi there, Tawni! Welcome back to planDisney. We are thrilled to see you've stopped by to ask us another great question about your upcoming visit to Disneyland Resort.
I love to hear that you purchased MagicBands for your nieces when you visit the park next month. I was in the parks on the day
MagicBand+ debuted at Disneyland Resort and had fun trying mine out. You'll be happy to know that you will be able to send these bands home with your nieces and they will be able to use them again on their next trip. At Disneyland Resort, a MagicBand+ band is paired to a ticket, not an account. This means that if they head to Disneyland Resort again in the future they can easily link them again to their new tickets through your sister's or anyone's account. Just be sure that you purchased MagicBand+ and not the previous versions of MagicBand as these will not work at Disneyland Resort.
Currently, your nieces will be able to use their bands to scan into the parks, as well as scan into their Lightning Lanes if you are using Disney Genie+. They also will be able to bounty hunt over in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Here you will incorporate the
Play Disney Parks app with your MagicBand+ to get assignments. You will use the MagicBand+ to see if you are getting closer or further away from your bounty. When you find it, you will head to the Guildmaster to receive your credits.
Last but not least, the MagicBand+ bands will add some fun and magical touches to nighttime entertainment.
Tawni, I hope you have a fantastic time taking in all of the holiday sights and sounds with your nieces at The Happiest Place on Earth. See you real soon!
Carrie
