    I am going to Disney in Dec 2026 and already have my new magic bands..can I pair them now to my account?

    Welcome to planDisney, Alisa!

    Oh, you have so much fun in store for your December visit to Walt Disney World. I love that you've already started planning!

    Now that you have your MagicBand+, it's super-easy to link that band to your Disney Account. Take a look at directions for MagicBand+ Setup and you'll have your bands linked to each guest in no time.

    I like to get all of our planning details done as early as possible--just in case I run into a technical difficulty. This also enables guests to learn the nuances of their band as well as how to check the My Disney Experience App for their MagicBand+ specifics.

    Alisa, you are going to be amazed at the sights, sips, and sounds that you'll experience during the Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort, and your MagicBand+ will make touring a breeze. Because you'll be visiting when additional seasonal magic is layered throughout the parks and resorts, consider adding Memory Maker to your trip. With this, you can stop for iconic pics taken by the very talented Disney PhotoPass Service photographers throughout each park--all included for one price. Imagine photos in front of each park's signature Christmas tree, pics with Santa Claus, and images on Main Street, U.S.A. with all her holiday finery on dazzling display. After each pic, just tap your MagicBand+ to the photographer's device and those images will magically appear in your My Disney Experience app in minutes--and you can share them right away!

    As you plan your upcoming visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Alisa, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
