    My dads phone will not run My Disney Experience so can I use my phone to pair his magic band plus to his account

    Hiya Elizabeth!

    Welcome to planDisney! I'm sorry your dad's phone isn't cooperating with the My Disney Experience App. 

    I think that when you say "pairing," you mean "linking." Pairing a MagicBand+ to a phone helps access settings on the band, like light color. Linking a MagicBand+ ensures that a band is connected to a human and can now be used to enter the Parks, access Lightning Lanes, or other entitlements assigned to your account. Linking can be done on your phone for your father as long as you are connected to him on your Family & Friends List. You can tap the MagicBand+ on your smartphone and then scan or enter the code that comes with the band. You will then assign the band. You mustn't mess this part up as once you assign the band to someone they are forever linked. 

    There is a helpful video you can watch to assist you in linking the band to your account. I love that you can also just link the MagicBand online through a browser window and not the app. This tends to be the way I do it as it is a bit easier for me. 

    I hope this helps and your dad has a lovely time in the Parks!

    Happy Planning!
