Hello there, Laurie!
Welcome to planDisney, it's so nice to meet you!
If you've created a
preferred payment method it is tied to your MyDisney account and will be available for select purchases including Lightning Lane access and mobile orders for food or merchandise. That payment method is associated with your MyDisney account and is only available when you are logged in with your username and password.
The Disneyland Resort does not currently support using Disney MagicBand+ to pay for items in the parks, I'm sorry! But you're welcome to use the
Disneyland Mobile App to place mobile orders or use
mobile checkout at select locations.
There are lots of fun things that you CAN do with your
MagicBand+ at the parks! Once your band is linked to a ticket you can use it to "tap in" at the park gate, collect photos from Disney PhotoPass Photographers, enter Lightning Lane queues when you've purchased access, and even interact with some attractions and shows. I love the subtle and spooky moment that happens with bands as you leave the Haunted Mansion...
I hope this answer makes it to you in time to be helpful, Laurie! Have a fantastic day in the parks!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
