Ahoy there, William! Thank you for sailing by planDisney before you sail away on Disney Cruise Line.
If the MagicBand+ was initially yours, you are not able to reassign it to your child. They are non-transferable. Also, adult Guests
must link any child's (under the age of 18)
DisneyBand+ or MagicBand+ to the adult Guest's MyDisney account. I have my teenager's DisneyBand+ linked, or paired, to my MyDisney account, and he uses it with no problems. Your 11 year old can use the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to chat with you and other family members and friends sailing with you. Make sure to download it before you sail away!
The other great feature of the Navigator app is the ability to view the list of
onboard activities. Once you connect to the
DCL-GUEST wireless network, you will be able to plan your days. I like to "favorite" the activities I want to attend so I can get a notification 15 minutes before they start. You have character greetings, live shows, and games to look forward to, William. I hope you and your family have an amazing vacation!
Bon Voyage!
