Hello Gillian,
Welcome to planDisney. Around here we like to say “Hakuna Matata” which means no worries! I’m glad you brought your question to us because this is an easy fix, so let’s get started.
First, MagicBands are now called DisneyBand+ in most countries, however, the
Walt Disney World Resort website for Great Britain sometimes still refers to them as MagicBand/MagicBand+. I will use the term "DisneyBand+/MagicBand+" to help you navigate the directions if one or the other term is used on the website.
If your DisneyBand+/MagicBand+ is
already associated with your upcoming stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, your DisneyBand+/MagicBand+ should be linked to your profile in your
My Disney Experience account, so be sure to check your My Disney Experience account under “My Disney Bands & Cards.” If not, follow these
instructions to link it to your My Disney Experience account. They are super simple!
You will be on your way before you know it, Gillian. I recommend that you pack your DisneyBand+/MagicBand+ in your park bag so you can use it even if your Disney Resort hotel room isn’t ready upon your arrival. Just leave your other luggage with
Bell Services and head to your favorite park! Your
My Disney Experience app will notify you when your room is ready.
I hope you found this information helpful. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have other questions about making your
Walt Disney World Resort holiday magical!
As Tigger likes to say, ta-ta for now!
Shannon
