Hiya Dorothy,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for submitting your question to us.
You hold the magic in your hand with
MagicBand+! MagicBand+ is a great way to carry
theme park ticket information, open your
Disneyland Resort Hotel room, and more! Please note that only MagicBand+ can be used at Disneyland Resort, so older MagicBand versions won't work.
Guests can purchase MagicBand+ at either the
Disneyland Resort or
online at the Disney Store! There are so many designs available, so you’re sure to find one you like. Once purchased, you may need to update, but can do this before your visit! Then all that’s left is to link your MagicBand+ to your MyDisney account so you can use it to scan your tickets at the Main Gates! This can be done the day of your visit but may take a bit of time and require an internet connection, so I recommend the latest you link your MagicBand+ is the day before your visit.
To
set up a new MagicBand+, download the
Disneyland Mobile App to first link the band to your MyDisney account. Click on the app’s (☰) feature at the bottom right-hand side of your screen, then scroll down and select “MagicBand+” which will open the MagicBand+ page. You can click the (+) at the top right side to link a new MagicBand+ to your Disneyland account and follow the step-by-step instructions to link your MagicBand+ to your Disneyland account. Once the MagicBand+ is paired to your MyDisney account in the Disneyland Mobile App, follow the steps to link your theme park tickets to your MagicBand+. Then once your MagicBand+ is linked, “
there’s nowhere to go but up!”
If you have other questions about the Disneyland Resort, remember - you’ve got a friend in me!
