Hiya there, Ellie, welcome to planDisney!
How exciting, it looks like you’ve got an upcoming adventure to
Disneyland Resort! It’s a different experience than Walt Disney World Resort, but oh-so-fun! I’m happy to share more about using a
MagicBand+ at the Happiest Place on Earth.
The Disney MagicBand+ bracelets can be used at Disneyland Resort,
Walt Disney World Resort, and even on certain
Disney Cruise Line ships! However, it should be noted that only the MagicBand+ version can be used at the Disneyland Resort. Unfortunately, the previous versions (original MagicBand, MagicBand 2) are not compatible for use at the Disneyland Resort. To link your MagicBand+ make sure you have the
Disneyland app downloaded and you’re logged into your MyDisney account. From there, you can tap “≡” at the bottom navigation and scroll to “Account” and then to “Link to Account.” You’ll want to select “Tap” and then follow the instructions to link each MagicBand+ to the account and then assign each to a ticket in your account.
There are a few differences with MagicBand+ usage, the biggest being you can’t use your MagicBand+ to charge purchases or dining or gain entry into your
Disneyland Resort Hotel room. I’m thrilled that you’ll be visiting during
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, the merriest time of year! Be sure to check out
Haunted Mansion Holiday, which at this time is only available via virtual queue. Plus, the newest attraction next door,
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, will be open to the public on November 15!
Well, Ellie, I sure hope you’re ready for all the festivities! I can’t wait to see the sights and hear the jolly sounds of the holidays. If you have any other questions before your visit, feel free to
send us another message!
Magic awaits!
Camille
