    Will be traveling to WDW in August, and staying at AKL. 4 adults, 2 children. I am getting ready to order magicbands+ for each person. Will I be able, through the app, to connect the bands to each person’s profile which is listed in our travel group?

    Howdy Emily!

    Welcome to planDisney. A MagicBand+ is one of my favorite items to have during our vacations to Walt Disney World. It allows me to quickly scan into my Lightning Lane entrance, charge my meals to my room, and pay for merchandise. It also allows me to experience magical extras around the park, like how it lights up during the nighttime spectacular, Happily Ever After. Let's see what we can find out about your question.

    Yes, you can absolutely link everyone’s MagicBand+ via the My Disney Experience App. You can do this by tapping on the 3 bars (≡) at the bottom right-hand corner. Scroll down to MagicBands & Cards and choose the person in your party. Next, tap the link button and follow the instructions to associate it with the person. Before you leave this screen, I would also recommend updating the software if needed.

    I would like to share a little-known feature of the MagicBand+. You can customize many of the effects and colors of your band using the My Disney Experience app. You can do this by tapping on the 3 bars (≡) at the bottom right-hand corner. Scroll down to MagicBands & Cards and choose the person associated with the band. Here, you can change the Light Up Theme for when you interact with park attractions. You can also adjust the brightness, vibrations, and other interactive features. It’s a neat way to make your experience even more magical.

    Emily, I can’t wait for you to experience all the magical fun at the Walt Disney World Resorts and Parks with your new MagicBand+. Please stop by if you have any further questions; my fellow panelists and I will be happy to help.

    See ya real soon,
    Robert
