Hi Melody!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question!
I really love the ease of My Disney Experience, and the convenience of MagicBands. My favorite part is not having to fish around for a room key after a long day in the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. A simple swipe of the band on my wrist and I'm able to unlock my resort room door! It's magical!
I'm happy to hear you've purchased an awesome new MagicBand online at the Disney Store. It's easy to link it to your
My Disney Experience account on the Walt Disney World website or the
My Disney Experience Mobile App.
Your MagicBand should have come to you with
instructions on how to link it to your My Disney Experience account using the ID number found on the back of the band. If you wait until you're at Walt Disney World Resort, a Cast Member at Guest Services or at a MagicBand merchandise location will be happy to assist you in linking the band to your ticket. I purchased a special Haunted Mansion MagicBand for myself on a recent visit, and it only took the Cast Member a few minutes to get me all set up and ready to go!
I hope this helps answer your question! Have a magical day - Diane W.
