Hi there, Caroline! Welcome to planDisney! We are so happy to have you here in our little corner of the magic.
The launch of
MagicBand+ at the
Disneyland Resort last month was so exciting! As a frequent visitor of the magic on both coasts, I have loved using this wearable technology to add a little extra pixie dust to my
Walt Disney World Resort visits, and am thrilled it has made its way to the Happiest Place on Earth! From what I can tell, it looks like the benefits and options for the MagicBand+ are rolling out in stages as we get everyone up to speed here at Disneyland.
Disney MagicMobile Service which allows you to access MagicBand+ features through most mobile devices, including Apple Watch, is not yet available, but that's not to say it won't be in the future! My best advice here is to keep your eyes (and EARS!) peeled to the
Disney Parks Blog and the
@DISNEYLAND Instagram account as that is where news breaks first!
Caroline, I wish my pixie dust could clear the fog, and I could give you a date when Disney MagicMobile Service might land at the Disneyland Resort! While we are waiting for it to clear, let's chat about what your MagicBand+ can do! With just a quick tap of the wrist, you are sailing through the Main Entrance Gates or straight through to those
Lightning Lanes. Capturing some forever memories with
Disney PhotoPass? No problem! Just have them tap your band and those photos will load directly into your account! No more searching for that PhotoPass card or taking out your phone! Ever dreamed of stepping into the shoes of a Bounty Hunter in a galaxy far, far away? Well, now's your chance with the interactive game
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters. Love those Disneyland nighttime spectaculars? Well, get ready for a little extra magic from your MagicBand+ while you enjoy the show!
Caroline, I know I didn't have a confirmed answer for you today, but I sure hope it was helpful! If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at
planDisney!
Magic awaits!
