Hi Michael!
Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by! When it comes to technical issues using your
My Disney Experience account, you have come to the perfect place to try and solve them. Let's jump right into your question.
MagicBands are one of my top park essentials when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort! They have many functions, including using them as entry into the theme parks each day. In order to link them to your account, you'll need to log on to your My Disney Experience account and select "My MagicBands and Cards" from the drop-down menu. Scroll down until you can select "Link" in the blue box followed by "Select" under "MagicBand." Once here, you'll enter the ID Number located on the back of the MagicBand, which is typically a 12-digit number. You'll then need to select the Guest in your party that this MagicBand will be linked to.
Now that your bands are linked to your account, you'll want to make sure that your
park tickets and
resort reservation are as well. Select "My Plans" on the My Disney Experience drop-down menu. You should see your Disney Resorts Hotel reservation under "Daily Itinerary" and your park tickets under "Tickets, Passes, & Memory Maker." If not, you can link them by scrolling to the top of the page and selecting "Link a Reservation" under Resort Hotel and "Link Tickets" under Park Tickets. You'll need to locate your confirmation number to your resort and the Ticket ID number for your park tickets that you should have been provided upon booking your package. If you are unable to locate either of these numbers,
call the Walt Disney World Resort and speak to a Cast Member for assistance. They will be happy to help get your account squared away for your upcoming trip.
Michael, I hope this information helps you plan for your visit!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
