Hi Rick! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
MagicBand+ is a convenient hands-free option for the parks. They're useful for scanning into the parks and Lightning Lane Entrances with
Lightning Lane Multi Pass. They're also immersive! You'll find your band lightning up, changing colors, and buzzing away during your park day as it interacts with select Attractions and Entertainment. Plus, with so many options, you can select a band that fits your personal style. My boys have Star Wars-inspired bands, while my husband rocks a classic Mickey Mouse style. I like a plain pink band. There's something for everyone!
You can add multiple bands to your
Disneyland mobile app without assigning a ticket to those bands until later. I hope that's good news! I can quickly walk you through the process. Open the app and tap the three-bar menu on the bottom right side. Scroll down until you see the "Account" header and select "MagicBand+." On the next screen, you should see a "+" which you can tap to add your band. Tap "Open Scanner to Link" and hold the Mickey Mouse on the band to the upper part of your phone to link. Your band will need to be fully charged to do this! Repeat for multiple bands.
When you're finished, you should find a list of all the bands you've linked on the MagicBand+ screen with a helpful little icon for each band. Mine shows two Star Wars Saga Bands, a Light Pink Band, and a Play in the Park Band, for example. When you're ready to assign a ticket to a band, tap "Assign to a Ticket or Magic Key pass" and follow the onscreen prompts. It's that easy.
I hope this helps.
