Hello there Dana, welcome to planDisney! It looks like your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is almost here!
I'm so glad you asked about how
MagicBand+ works at the Disneyland Resort since it is different than at other Disney destinations such as Walt Disney World. Currently, only MagicBand+ is supported at the Disneyland Resort, MagicBand and MagicBand2 are not supported and cannot be linked to the
Disneyland app. You will only be able to link your MagicBand+ for one person or
theme park ticket, it will not store multiple Guests' information.
However, as wonderful as it is to have a MagicBand+, it is not required to have one for every member of your party. You could still manage your tickets,
theme park reservations, and
Lightning Lane selections with
Disney Genie+ from your mobile phone and the Disneyland app. So you could certainly continue to use yours for yourself, but it's a personal decision if you'd like everyone in your party to have one, it is not a requirement.
You are able to purchase your MagicBand+ online at
shopDisney prior to your trip, or you could even do some souvenir shopping when you arrive and pick one out then! There are several places to purchase a MagicBand+ at the Disneyland Resort, and my favorite is the
World of Disney store in the
Downtown Disney District. They have a ton of styles to choose from, and a trip for me is not complete with a stop for shopping there!
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip! Dana, if we can help with any other questions, please do not hesitate to
come back to planDisney.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
