    We received our Disney Bands+ today but know instructions on how to use them. Is there somewhere I can go on this website to get instructions? They sound like a real convenience but how do we charge them? Do we need to program them and how?

    Avast Ye Matey!

    Ye come seeking adventure and answers, aye? Well, yer in the right place! Here at planDisney we’ll explore the seas to the ends of the earth to help find answers to your vacation questions. Fortunately, we won’t have to go that far to dig up this treasure for you, Michael. 

    DisneyBands+ is a great way to enjoy hands-free convenience onboard a Disney Cruise Line cruise ship. You can purchase specialty items at the restaurants and lounges, buy merchandise in the shops, open your stateroom, and enjoy interactive fun while onboard. I’m glad you have your DisneyBands+ ready for your upcoming sailing, so let's dive into how to use it! 

    To program your DisneyBand+ on Disney Cruise Line, you’ll first want to charge it. Your DisneyBand+ should have arrived with a USB charging cable. It is recommended you charge your DIsneyBand+ to the high battery level (green flashing) once before your cruise and nightly once onboard. Pressing the button on the back of the DisneyBand+ will light up with lights that indicate your current battery status. Flashing red indicates no battery, yellow indicates low battery and flashing green indicates high battery.

    Once you have charged your DisneyBand+ you will need to link it to your Disney account at disneycruiseline.com. You’ll want to wear your DisneyBand+ on embarkation day because a Port Agent will tap your DisneyBand+ to activate it. You can pair your DisneyBand+ to your smart device through the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app

    Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me! Sail back by planDisney if we can answer any more of your vacation questions. We’re always happy to drop anchor and offer assistance.
