    Need help to connect my Magic Band to a new reservation - not under my name but under my Sister-in-Law's. I am a tag-along.

    Hi Lesli!

    Welcome to planDisney!  I see your next Walt Disney World Resort adventure is about to begin, so let’s waste no time getting you ready to enjoy every magical moment!

    Lesli, if you ask me, MagicBands are the perfect Disney park accessory.  I love being hands-free navigating the park entrances, Lightning Lane returns, and even unlocking my Disney resort room!  It sounds like you already have a MagicBand (or maybe more than one!) linked to your My Disney Experience account.  The good news is that once your account is connected to the reservation your sister-in-law made, you should be all set!

    When your sister-in-law is on the Walt Disney World website, she should be able to modify a resort reservation and update the travel party listed under “My Plans." Before doing this, you'll want to make sure that you're on her Family and Friends List.  It's important to note that if updating the Guest information modifies the reservation (number of travelers, etc.) from what was originally booked, change fees may apply.  If she doesn’t see an option to connect you to the existing reservation, she can always call Disney Resort Hotel Reservations for assistance.  

    It’s also important to make sure your account is linked to the resort reservation so you can enjoy all of the great benefits that come with staying on property, including Early Theme Park Entry - my favorite!  This extra 30 minutes in the park is a good opportunity to ride some of your favorite attractions before the park officially opens.  You’ll typically find complimentary resort transportation starts running 45 minutes to an hour before this early entry time.  

    Lesli, I hope this information has been helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort!  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!

    See ya real soon!
