Hello there, Larry!
It is a pleasure to welcome you to planDisney. We are thrilled to answer your first question and help you plan a pixie-dusted Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
I cannot imagine visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth without my
MagicBand+. I can use it to conveniently unlock the door of my Disney Resort hotel Guest room, charge purchases to my room account during my stay, enter the theme parks (with valid admission linked to my Disney account), link digital content captured by Disney PhotoPass service to My Disney Experience, and much more.
To
set up your MagicBand+, you must first power your band by pressing the button on the back and then tap the band to your phone. You will be directed to open the My Disney Experience app and follow the instructions to link the MagicBand+ to your account and pair it with your mobile device. To make sure your band is charged and to update the software, open the
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device, tap the three horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen, and select MagicBands and More.
I hope this information is helpful, Larry. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have an unforgettable visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
