Hi Thomas!
Welcome back to planDisney. We love to see returning Guests come back to us for more tips and tricks in their Disney parks planning! My planDisney pals and I love planning our trips to the Happiest Place on Earth. We have so much Disneyland knowledge swirling around in our heads that it brings us great joy to share it with fellow Guests looking to make the most of the magic.
Your daughter is going to have a great time with her Girl Scout troop! What a fun day with friends, making unforgettable memories. Your daughter can absolutely use her
MagicBand+; you'll just need to ensure that it is linked to the park ticket she will be using that day, whether it's a ticket you have in your account or if it is in the account of one of the chaperones. If you have ownership of the ticket, simply head to your app and tap the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner, scrolling down to MagicBand+. If the band has been linked previously, you will see it here and can just assign it to her latest ticket. Then she should be good to go! If the ticket lives in someone else's account, it may be easiest to
link it to your own to assign the MagicBand+. If a chaperone has the ticket in their account, have them head to "My Tickets and Passes" and send you the ticket ID number listed under the barcode for your daughter's ticket. In your own "My Tickets and Passes", tap the "+" in the top right-hand corner to link the new ticket and manually type in the ID number. Now you will be able to assign the MagicBand+ to this new ticket, which will now live in both your account and the chaperone's.
If you aren't able to link the ticket to your account, we can still find a way for your daughter to use her MagicBand+. Bands can only be linked to one ticket and one account at any particular time, so you would need to unlink the MagicBand+ from your account and link it to the account of whoever is holding her ticket. Head into the MagicBand+ section of the app from the three-line icon in the bottom navigation bar and tap into her band. Scroll down to find the "Unlink" button. To link it to the chaperone's account, you will need to be with them and have the band fully charged and ready to go. They will head to the same MagicBand+ section of the app and tap the "+" in the upper right-hand corner and follow the instructions from there to tap the band to the phone to add. Of course, once the day is done, you will need them to unlink the band from their account so you can link it back to yours.
Phew, Thomas, I hope you are still with me. That was a lot of instruction! I promise that once you are in the app, navigating in and around is pretty intuitive. Once the MagicBand+ is linked to her ticket for the day, your daughter will be able to use it to enter the parks and tap into
Lightning Lanes if the group has added Multi-Pass for the day. Additionally, she can use it to keep track of any photos taken by
Disney PhotoPass photographers. With the Multi-Pass, Guests received unlimited digital downloads of these photos, so I would encourage her to jump in as many photos as she can to capture those memories!
If you have any more questions, please come back to see us again here at

Magic awaits!
