Hi there, Jessica, and welcome to planDisney! Oh, a fellow Disney parent navigating the wonderful world of MagicBands - I totally get it! Managing all the Disney tech stuff for our kiddos can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty straightforward.
So here's the deal with managing your 7-year-old's MagicBand through your My Disney Experience account: You're going to be her digital Disney fairy godmother! Since she's under 13, her profile will be linked to yours as a child account, which means you get to handle all her MagicBand magic from your main MDE account.
To check on her MagicBand status, just hop into your
My Disney Experience app or website and look for the "
My MagicBands and Cards" section. You'll see all the MagicBands connected to your account, including hers, and you can see if they're active, reactivate any older ones that might have gone inactive, or report them lost if necessary.
If her MagicBand ever gives you trouble or you can't figure out the status, honestly, any cast member at the parks can help you out in like two seconds. They're absolute wizards with this stuff, and I've never had them not be able to fix whatever MagicBand issues we might have had going on.
Oh, and speaking of MagicBands, have you considered the
MagicBand+ upgrade? These are seriously next level and perfect for a 7-year-old! They light up and vibrate during fireworks shows, react to certain attractions, and honestly make the whole Disney experience feel even more magical. Your daughter would probably absolutely love watching her band come to life during the nighttime spectaculars. You can manage those through your MDE account too, and they're definitely worth considering if you want to add that extra sprinkle of Disney magic to her trip!
Your daughter is going to have such a blast using her MagicBand to unlock all that Disney magic! There's something so cool about watching them tap their way into attractions and feel like they're part of the Disney tech magic.
I hope this helped answer your question. If you need any more help or planning tips, be sure to come back to see us.
Wishing the most magical trip,
Emille
