    If I purchased magic bands and have them linked to plan can I use them to get in the park the first day or will I need to go to the resort I'm staying to pick up park tickets? Thank you, Jacob

    Hey there, Jacob!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your planning questions! It’s Turbo-tastic that you already have a MagicBand—this little gadget isn’t just a tool; it’s like having a power-up for your Disney adventure! One of my favorite things about it is how it interacts with select entertainment. My family loves watching it light up and come to life during shows like Festival of the Lion King—with all the colors and magic! Plus, when paired with the My Disney Experience app, it makes navigating your trip as smooth as Vanellope’s racing skills.

    Now, let’s level up and get your MagicBand ready for action! As long as your MagicBand and park tickets are linked through your My Disney Experience app, you’re all set to skip the glitches and head straight into the park. Here’s how to make sure your park ticket is linked:

    1. Open the My Disney Experience App.
    2. Tap the ≡ (hamburger icon) in the bottom-right corner.
    3. Select "My Tickets and Passes" to check if your ticket is linked.

    If everything is linked up, you’re good to go! Simply scan your MagicBand at the park's entrance and get ready for some magical fun. Note: Theme Park reservations are no longer required for date-based tickets but may be needed for other admission types. Be sure to check before arrival. 

    Also be sure to check out the Disney Parks Blog for all the latest adventures happening throughout the parks. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask.

    See you real soon,
