Hey Howdy Hey Joseph and welcome to planDisney!
MagicBand+ is a great option when taking a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort. Not only will you have the convenience of having everything you need from one device, but you will also become part of the Magic in the parks. Before we get too far into it, it sounds like we need to discuss purchasing options.
Joseph, as you note, there are several ways of purchasing your MagicBand+ before your trip. There are so many options to suit everyone's personality that sometimes it might be hard to find them all in one place! Our experiences are the same as yours, one of our kids wanted a MagicBand+ from DisneyStore and the others from the Disney site. We did exactly as you mentioned, ordering the ones from the site and declining one band and then going over to the
DisneyStore and ordering the other.
Connecting the MagicBand+ is the same no matter where you purchase them from. Once you get your MagicBand go to your
My Disney Experience app. Tap on the three horizontal lines on the bottom right and then tap on "MagicBands & Cards" under the "Account" heading. Follow the prompts to connect each band to the right profile and you should be all set!
Don't forget to bring your charging cables with you on your vacation and keep your MagicBands charged. This will ensure you have enough power to become part of the Magic during your vacation in each of the parks as well as during the nighttime shows. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
