Hey there, hi there, Kathryn! We are so glad you stopped by planDisney with your question for us. Welcome!
You are just days away from your visit to The Happiest Place on Earth! I hope you are starting to pack your bags and checking off the last of your things on your to-do list. If you have the newest version of
Disney Bands from a previous Walt Disney World vacation, be sure to add them to your packing list. These are the only versions that work at Disneyland Resort. If you are interested in purchasing them once you get on property, you can find them at many of the shopping locations in the parks, in
Downtown Disney, and even in shops at the resort hotels. At Disneyland Resort, you can use your Disney Band to tap into the park with the newly installed turnstiles, for Lightning Lane redemption, and link your PhotoPass photos.
You may find your Disney Band lighting up and vibrating on certain attractions and areas of the parks. Starting May 16, 2025, for the
70th Celebration, you will be able to unlock surprises at 5 locations throughout Disneyland Park with your Disney Band.
Kathryn, I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other planning questions, be sure to see us again!
Carrie
