Hey Vivian!
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. You are going to love having a MagicBand+ with you during your visit. Not only does it make for easy entry into the parks and Lightning Lanes, but there are some new interactions in honor of the
70th Anniversary that can only be activated with a MagicBand+!
Let's see if your
MagicBand+ is linked! Head into the
Disneyland app and tap the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner, scrolling down until you see "MagicBand+". This is where you will see a list of any bands you may have previously linked, and also where you can link new ones. If you had a band linked to a ticket that has now been used or expired, the band will remain in this section but will just need to be assigned to a new, active ticket. If this is the case for you, tap the "+" underneath the MagicBand+ you'd like to link, and the system will pull up any
active tickets in your account to choose from. Select the ticket you'd like to link to the band, and away you go!
If you don't see your MagicBand+ in this section, not to worry. Have the MagicBand+ charged and ready, then tap the "+" in the top right-hand corner, followed by "Open Scanner to Link". Follow the instructions from there and you should be good to go!
Get ready to unlock some nostalgic surprises to celebrate the 70th! Throughout Disneyland Park, seek and find special
MagicBand+ activations inspired by original attractions. There are five locations throughout the park, each stop offering MagicBand+ holders a special surprise from a nostalgic memory to a commemorative keepsake. I'll give you a hint, you can find the first one right along Main Street as you stroll towards Sleeping Beauty Castle! My planDisney pals and I did this fun scavenger hunt when we were together in the parks in May, and as a group of Disney adults, we were delighted with each stop!
Vivian, I hope this has been helpful in your planning! If you have any more questions or would like a friendly tip or two, we are always here for you at
planDisney.
Wishing you unforgettable memories and magic!
