Hi Sandra!
Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by. I'm happy to hear that you'll be visiting
Walt Disney World soon. With so many experiences coming to the parks, there will be plenty of new things to check out on this upcoming stay.
I'm happy to report that purchasing MagicBands will not affect your husband's ability to book Lightning Lanes. In fact, they will only make it easier to access the Lightning Lane entrances at the parks. Once you purchase a
MagicBand+, you'll link it to your
My Disney Experience account. If you have your own login information, you'll need to access your account to link your new MagicBand+. Otherwise, if your profile was created under your husband's account, you can link it to your name once he logs in. Once this specific MagicBand+ is linked to your profile, you will be the only one who can use it, and it cannot be transferred to any other Guest.
When it comes time to book
Lightning Lanes, he'll do it the same way he always has. The only thing that will change is that you'll be able to use your MagicBand+ in place of the admission card you used in the past. You can use it for entry into the theme parks, to access Lightning Lanes, and even for entry to your Disney Resort hotel room (if you are staying in one).
Another fun feature of owning a
MagicBand+ is the light-up effects that happen when exploring the parks. There are times when certain attractions will trigger the MagicBand+ to light up and vibrate when you least expect it. This is especially true during the nighttime entertainment across the parks. Watching as your MagicBand+ and others around you begin to illuminate is a pretty cool effect at night.
Sandra, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
