    We recently activated our magic bands for Disneyland. We are planning to go to MNSSHP at Disney World. Do I need to reactivate/reassign the bands for WDW? They are only showing up on the DL app not the WDW app. Thanks

    Hey Becky and welcome to planDisney! You would think that what Mickey has planned on one side of the United States would work on the other side. I mean they are only five hours apart by plane. Well, they do but there is a small process you need to go through. 

    MagicBand+ purchased at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, or even Disney Cruise Line (called DisneyBand+) can be used at all three locations but they have to be linked to each individually. Here is what you need to do to link your MagicBand+ at Walt Disney World Resort since it has already been linked to another Disney location:

    1. Make sure your MagicBand+ is fully charged
    2. Tap the MagicBand+ on the back of your smart device and open the link.
    3. Choose the location where you want to link the MagicBand.
    4. If you do not have the My Disney Experience app, download it (different from the Disneyland Resort app) and log in with your Disney account credentials.
    5. Following the instructions.

    Or

    1. Make sure your MagicBand+ is fully charged.
    2. Download the My Disney Experience App (different from the Disneyland Resort app) and login with your Disney account credentials. They should be the same for the Disneyland App.
    3. Tap the Feature Menu Icon (☰) on the lower right.
    4. Scroll down and tap "Link to Account" or "MagicBands & Cards."
    5. Tap the blue "Link+" button on the upper right.
    6. Use any of the three methods provided to link the MagicBand.

    Becky, after you follow these steps you, bibbidi bobbidi boo... you are ready to use this technological wonder at the "Most Magical Place on Earth." As always, please feel free to stop by planDisney again or write me back directly for more Disney vacation planning tips.

    Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
