Hey there, Dustin, thanks for your question!
I was excited to see the
announcement on the Disney Parks Blog last fall that we were finally getting
MagicBand+ at the Disneyland Resort! You are correct that the MagicBand+ works at both parks, but note that the previous generations of MagicBands will not work at the Disneyland Resort.
I had the chance to experience using a MagicBand+ in the parks in December - they made things super convenient! One of the biggest perks is that they give hands-free access to the parks and Lightning Lane entrances. Also, my fellow planDisney panelist pal,
Al, led a few of us through the
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunter quest using the
Play Disney Parks app, which was very fun. It was pretty spectacular to see everyone's MagicBand+ light up during the fireworks at night as well - you can change the light-up theme in the app!
If you need any help, there's a great tutorial on getting your
MagicBand+ setup with your Disneyland Mobile App. I haven't visited the Walt Disney World Resort since Magic Band was introduced, so I'm just now starting my collection! I've got my eye on the
new Mickey Mouse 2023 band for our next visit.
Thanks again for visiting planDisney, Dustin! Feel free to
write me back directly if you have any other follow-up questions - I'd love to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
