    My husband and I are going to disney and purchased magic bands. He has his own Disney account but we linked our accounts for this trip. Do I need to pair each magic band on the separate phones or does it matter if we just do it on my phone?

    Hello, Shelby!
    Welcome to planDisney! We’re always delighted to help make your Disney planning as magical and stress-free as possible.

    The good news is that as long as your accounts are linked, either of you can connect the MagicBands to the appropriate person. When I purchase new MagicBands for my family, I simply use the code on the back of each MagicBand to link it to the correct person in our group. This can easily be done through the My Disney Experience mobile app on your phone or via the website.

    Here’s how to link your MagicBands using the My Disney Experience mobile app:
    Open the app and tap on the menu in the bottom right corner.
    Select "MagicBands and More" from the menu options.
    Tap "Link Your MagicBand or Card" and enter the code from the back of the MagicBand.
    Choose the person in your party to assign the MagicBand to and it’s ready to go!

    planDisney Pro Tip: Consider customizing your MagicBands before your trip to reflect your family’s personality! You can select designs and colors through your My Disney Experience account ahead of time and even have them shipped to your home before you arrive. This way, everyone is ready to step into the magic as soon as you get to the parks!

    Shelby, I hope this helps simplify the process and add a sprinkle of pixie dust to your planning. If you have any more questions, we’re always here to lend a hand!
    Wishing you a magical adventure ahead! 

    Toodles,
    Korliss
