    do we have to check in before we can use our magic band at the park?

    Hello Andrea!

    Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I hope you are having a magical week!

    Once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort, as long as you have already linked your park tickets online or in the Walt Disney World App, your MagicBands they are active and ready to use! If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel you can check in online and there is an option for the hotel to text you your room number so you don’t have to go to the front desk as well. When you receive the text with your room number, your MagicBand will automatically work for your room.

    I hope this helps and please let me know if you need anything else as you plan your visit!

    See you real soon!
