Hiya, Janet. Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for bringing us your question.
Yes, the
MagicBand+ comes ready to use out of the box, though it will likely have only a little charge. It will work to scan into the theme parks (with a valid ticket and park reservation) and open your room door at your
Disneyland Resort Hotel regardless of its charge level. However, if it is not fully charged, some functionality, like the interaction with World of Color - ONE and other fun vibrations as it reacts to its Disney surroundings may not work until it's fully charged.
Janet, to tap into its phenomenal cosmic power, pair your MagicBand+ to your My Disney Account in the Disneyland Mobile App. Once you are logged into the app, click the “hamburger” icon (☰) on the bottom right of the app home screen. From there, select MagicBand+ under the "Account" section and click on the blue plus sign at the top right of the next screen. Follow the instructions for linking your MagicBand+ and you should be all set to enjoy it throughout the parks!
Janet, what I love most about MagicBand+ is the ability to use it over and over again on my Disney vacations. From
Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, all the way to Disney Cruise Line, MagicBand+ is the gateway to making the most magic on your vacation.
I hope this helps answer your question! Please come back and visit us again anytime, Janet!
Have a magical visit,
Melissa
