    If I purchase magic bands through the Disney store are they already linked?

    Hi Kelley,

    Thanks for joining us here at planDisney! There is nothing like a great Disney chat among friends, so have a seat and let’s talk about MagicBands. 

    Aren’t there so many great MagicBand and MagicBand+ designs at DisneyStore.com right now? I have had my eye on the Orange Bird MagicBand+ design released for the 2024 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, for example, for quite a while. I totally understand the desire to have them all! 

    MagicBands purchased through DisneyStore.com do not arrive linked to your My Disney Experience Account, but Hakuna Matata (It means no worries) because it is pretty simple to get connected and on your way. 

    First, be sure to download (or update) your My Disney Experience Mobile App. Then, power on your fancy new jewelry and tap it to against your phone. From there, easy-to-follow instructions will appear on your screen, and guide you through the process to associate the MagicBand+ with the correct person in your Family & Friends list. See? It’s like magic! 

    Did you know, Kelley, that with your connected MagicBand+ and a completed Online Check-In, you can bypass the front desk of your Walt Disney World Resort hotel and go directly to your room? It’s true! Once you receive the most magical phone call and text message that your room is ready, follow the Resort hotel map in your My Disney Experience Mobile App and go directly to your door, tap, and enter! 

    I hope that helps, Kelley! Please come back and visit us at planDisney with any other questions. We are always ready to help. 

    Happy shopping! 

    Adventure is out there,

    Sally
