Welcome to planDisney, Michelle!
I was thrilled to read your question because my family and I just did the same thing. We went on a trip to Walt Disney World last October so I purchased a
MagicBand+ to use while on vacation in Florida, with the intention to eventually use it at my home Parks here at the Disneyland Resort! That experience taught me a lot about the ins and outs of the MagicBand+.
I loved the convenience of having my MagicBand+ with me at Walt Disney World, and I hope you were able to experience the same thing on your trip. Upon returning home, I discovered that my MagicBand+ could only be linked to one ticket or pass at a time, so I had to go into the
My Disney Experience App and unlink my MagicBand+ from my account (select "MagicBands and More", then select your account, and then select your MagicBand+ to unlink it). Then open the
Disneyland Mobile App and select "MagicBand+" to begin linking your MagicBand+ to your Disneyland account. If you have never linked your MagicBand+ to your account, please review these
instructions on pairing your device for the first time. Once linked, check to make sure that your MagicBand+ is assigned to your Magic Key.
I hope the Disneyland Resort continues to add
features to our MagicBand+! I have a fantastic time
collecting bounties for the guild in Galaxy's Edge and it's so much more convenient to use my MagicBand+ for park entry and Lightning Lanes. I always make sure that it's packed in my bag and charged whenever I visit the Parks now.
Michelle, I hope you find this useful and please feel free to write to us again at planDisney if you need anything else! We're here to help!
