    If I have tickets mailed to me and wish to purchase a magic band when I arrive at Disney, can they be linked to magic band then?

    Howdy Linda! Welcome to planDisney, where you will find the rootinest, tootinest Disney vacation enthusiasts this side of Walt Disney World. I’m so glad you decided to stop by with your question about linking a MagicBand to your Disney account. It would be my pleasure to round up an answer for you! 

    Technically, you don't link your theme park tickets to a MagicBand, but you do link both to your Disney account, allowing you to use your MagicBand to access your tickets and the other features available. Once you receive your Walt Disney World theme park tickets in the mail, you can link them to your Disney account. You can do this through the My Disney Experience mobile app or on the Walt Disney World website. Once your theme park tickets are linked to your Disney account, you will be able to purchase a MagicBand+ and link it to your account, allowing you to use your MagicBand+ to enter the theme parks (with valid admission and a theme park reservation if necessary), connect your PhotoPass Photos, and experience interactive fun throughout the parks. Be sure to link your MagicBand+ to the correct Guest, as once it has been linked, it cannot be transferred to a different Guest. 

    There are so many different MagicBand+ designs, you are sure to find one that represents your favorite Disney theme or Characters. Have a magical visit to Walt Disney World! You’ve got a friend in me, Linda, in all of us here at planDisney. If we can answer more of your vacation questions, please stop back by!
