Hi there, Janet, and welcome to planDisney! I couldn't be more thrilled that you're here today with this awesome question about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort! It will be here before you know it, and now is the perfect time to check those last few remaining items off of your to-do list.
Janet, you're welcome to go ahead and pair your MagicBand to your account. Once you've linked your MagicBand to your MyDisney Account, it's yours for life! It won't be able to be linked to another Guest once it's paired to you. The easiest way to do this is by heading to the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Go to the main menu by tapping the icon on the bottom right of your screen. Scroll down to Account and click MagicBands & Cards. Scroll down to Learn More and click Link Your MagicBand or Card. You'll be able to tap your MagicBand to your phone and follow the prompts to get it connected. You'll also want to pair it to your phone via bluetooth. You can learn more about that on this helpful
website!
If you have a new
MagicBand+, be sure to pack your charger when you head to Walt Disney World Resort. I don't always charge my MagicBand+ nightly, but many Guests do like to keep theirs at a full charge. You can check the status of your MagicBand+ within the "Your MagicBands and More" section of the My Disney Experience Mobile App. You'll love wearing a MagicBand+ because of the conveniences it offers throughout your vacation. You can unlock your Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door, tap in at Disney Theme Park entry, charge purchases to your hotel room, use your dining plan meals and snacks, and more!
Janet, I just know that you're going to have the very best time during your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue to count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
