Royal greetings, Amy!
A warm welcome to planDisney and thanks for bringing us a fabulous
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. I'm thrilled to hear you'll be checking in at one of the many magical Disney Resort hotels very soon! I'd be more than happy to help you prepare for your enchanting escape.
It sounds like you have added a new
MagicBand+ to your collection - how exciting! For your MagicBand+ to open the door to your Disney Resort hotel room, you'll want to ensure that both your resort reservation and MagicBand+ are linked to your MyDisney account. First, ensure that your Disney Resort hotel reservation is linked to your account. You can link your reservation on the Walt Disney World Resort website by tapping the "My Disney Experience" tab, hovering over "Resort Hotel," and selecting "Link a Reservation." Alternatively, you could complete the linking process in the
My Disney Experience mobile app by tapping the "☰" icon and then scrolling down to select "Link to Account."
Next, to link your MagicBand+, you'll want to return to the "Link to Account" button in the mobile app. Then, click "Tap" to use your mobile phone to scan your MagicBand+ to auto-
magically connect your band to your account! Follow the onscreen prompts to pair your device with your band and set your preferences. Finally, I recommend fully charging your band overnight before using it for the first time. This will ensure you go into your day with maximum pixie dust power to enable all of the enchanting interactive features of your new MagicBand+!
Amy, I hope this information helps you to prepare for a magical and memorable vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you have any additional linking questions, you can always reach out to the friendly Cast Members at the
My Disney Experience, MagicBand and MagicBand+ phone line. Alternatively, you can always revisit us right here at
planDisney. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
