    I have a brand new Magicband+ and I was wondering, can I link it to my cruise app now even though my cruise is a month away?

    Ahoy, Stephanie!

    Welcome back to planDisney! I always love it when the cruise countdown is just a month away. It starts to feel like it's within reach with less than 30 days to go. Soon, you'll have everything organized and ready to pack for your adventure on the high seas! 

    Stephanie, you'll love the convenience of using your DisneyBand+ on your sailing. You'll be able to tap to enter your stateroom, pay for your onboard charges, and experience some special magic during some of the events onboard, to name a few. If you'd like to link it to your Disney Cruise Line account, head to the Disney Cruise Line website and log in. Once you are logged in, look for "Already Booked" and find "DisneyBand+ and More" under "My Account." You'll see a spot that says "Already have a band." Scroll down and look for "Check Linking," which takes you to a page where you can link this new band to your "My Disney Experience" account. Once you arrive at the cruise terminal for check-in, have your DisneyBand+ with your important documents. The Cast Member will make sure the band is linked and ready to use once onboard. Also, if you forget to charge your band during the cruise, it will still work except for the interactive experiences. 

    Thank you for reaching out, Stephanie. I can't wait for you to be onboard experiencing all Disney Cruise Line has to offer. I hope the next few weeks fly by, so it will be time to enjoy all the magic and wonder offered at sea. 

    Have a magical day!
