Welcome to planDisney, Sonya! I’m so glad you stopped by with your question. How exciting that you’re getting ready for your
Walt Disney World Resort adventure! Your MagicBand is such a convenient way to make your visit even more magical, it keeps everything you need right on your wrist. I’d be delighted to walk you through how to link your park tickets to your MagicBand so you can focus on making unforgettable memories during your stay.
To link your park tickets to your MagicBand, start by signing in to your
My Disney Experience account, either through the app on your mobile device or on the official Walt Disney World website. Your MagicBand and park tickets both need to be associated with the same Disney account in order to work together.
First, check that your MagicBand is properly linked. In the app, tap the menu (☰), then select My MagicBands and Cards. If you see your MagicBand listed there, it’s already connected to your profile. If not, you can add it by entering the ID number found on the back of the band.
Next, make sure your tickets are linked. Go back to the main menu and choose Tickets and Passes. If your tickets were purchased through Disney directly, they usually appear automatically. If they don’t, select the option to Link Tickets & Passes and enter the ticket ID number (found in your confirmation email or on the physical ticket).
Once both your MagicBand and your tickets appear under your profile, they’re automatically linked through your Disney account, no extra steps are needed. This means you can use your MagicBand to enter the parks, check in for
Lightning Lane entrances, link Disney PhotoPass photos, and even unlock your Disney Resort hotel room if you’re staying on property.
Sonya, I hope this helps you feel confident and ready to make the most of your MagicBand during your Walt Disney World vacation. Once your tickets are linked, you’ll love the convenience of tapping into the magic with just a wave of your wrist. Thank you for visiting planDisney with your question. Wishing you a vacation filled with magical moments, joyful memories, and plenty of pixie dust along the way!
