Hi there Hilary,
Welcome to planDisney! How wonderful that you’ll be sailing the seas with
Disney Cruise Line in just a few weeks, you must be watching the countdown in your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App! You’ll find so much important information in app such as your cruise itinerary and Ports of Call, you can view and book activities, view entertainment schedules and once you’re aboard the ship, you can use the integrated Onboard chat to communicate with family and friends throughout the duration of your cruise. Your phone isn’t the only tool you’ll use while cruising so let’s take a look at another.
DisneyBand+ was recently introduced aboard the Disney Cruise Line ships and currently, Guests can use the various DisneyBand+ features! Great news, Both
MagicBand+ and
DisneyBand+ are interchangeable and can be used both on Disney Cruise Line,
Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. My planDisney classmates and I were aboard the Disney Dream last December for a Very Merrytime Cruise and we all had matching DisneyBand+. We used our DisneyBand+ to open our stateroom doors and paying for merchandise and specialty food (charged to a credit card on the stateroom folio).
In order to be able to use a DisneyBand+ on your cruise, you will need to make sure it is linked to your Disney Account. You can do this on the Disney Cruise Line website by selecting the “Already Booked” tab and then “DisneyBand+ and More”. Log in and follow the steps. Once you arrive at the port terminal, your DisneyBand+ will be activated by an agent and then you’ll be ready to sail!
You’re going to make so many wonderful memories while sailing the seas, Hilary. If you have another questions, please visit us again at

See ya real soon,
Candace
