Heya, hiya, Jessica, and welcome to planDisney! Your trip is next month—can you believe it?! I'll bet you're counting down the days, hours, and minutes until you're at the Happiest Place on Earth!
I'm so glad you asked about
MagicBand+ because I absolutely love the convenience these handy devices offer. You'll be happy to know that you can absolutely link all your tickets and MagicBand+ devices to your account for this trip, and then unlink and reuse them separately for a future visit! I do this quite often myself. In fact, I have a small collection of MagicBand+ devices—because I just can’t resist that Disney merchandise!—and I love sharing them with family and friends when they join me at the parks without their own. While the
MagicBand+ page offers fantastic information, I'd be delighted to walk you through all the steps, from pairing your new MagicBand+, to assigning a park ticket or Magic Key pass, and finally, unlinking it from your account so someone else can use it.
First, let's get your new device paired and ready for adventure. Begin by making sure your MagicBand+ is powered on; simply press the button on the back of the device. Then, open the
Disneyland mobile app, tap the menu (☰) button, and select "MagicBand+". You'll then tap the blue plus (+) sign in the top right corner and follow the easy on-screen directions to pair your band. During this initial setup, you'll also have the opportunity to pair your first device with a park ticket or Magic Key pass. So easy, right?!
You'll find all of your paired devices conveniently listed in the MagicBand+ section of your app. To assign a specific band to another ticket or pass, just tap the photo of the device you'd like to assign. Then, in the "Admission" section, tap the "Assign" button, and you'll be able to choose which ticket or pass to link to your band.
Now, let's talk about unlinking those MagicBand+ devices so members of your group can use them separately during a future visit. The great news is, this is absolutely possible and wonderfully simple! In the MagicBand+ section of the app, simply tap the photo of the device you'd like to unpair, and then just press the "Unlink" button. This will remove it from your account, making it available to be paired with another account whenever you wish. Super simple, and just like that, your MagicBand+ is ready for its next enchanting journey!
Now, Jessica, since you'll be visiting during the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, I have an extra tip for you! There are several exciting
MagicBand+ interactions cleverly situated throughout Disneyland Park for you to discover. Just scan your MagicBand+ at each location, and watch as they light up and play sound effects that are a delightful nod to the park's opening day attractions. They're so much fun to find, and some of them even offer a complimentary souvenir for you to take home, making your memories even more magical!
With all these tips, you're perfectly set to make the most of your MagicBand+! Just remember to tap, tap, tap your way through the parks for effortless entry, Lightning Lane access (with optional
Lightning Lane Multi Pass), and all those amazing 70th Celebration interactions. I hope you and your crew have an absolutely enchanting time at the Disneyland Resort, making countless magical memories!
