    If my wife and son’s magic bands are paired to her phone and I buy lightning lane passes on my phone, will their magic bands activate the lightning lane pass? Or not because they aren’t paired to my phone?

    Welcome to planDisney, Vincent! 

    Your trip is just around the riverbend! I hope you’re getting your bags packed while listening to Disney music constantly! 

    Because MagicBands are linked to the individual’s My Disney Experience account, your wife and son will be fine as long as you’re allocating Lightning Lane passes to your son and wife when you book them on your phone. They will automatically link to their MagicBands. If you and your wife are not yet linked on My Disney Experience, just open the app and tap the “☰” icon, scroll down and tap “Profile” then select the “Family & Friends List” option, scroll to the bottom of that page and select “Add a Guest” next. From there you should be able to add your family to your account. From then on you will be able to make Lightning Lane selections for you and your family. 

    While you’re at Disney World, I highly recommend visiting Festival of the Arts at EPCOT! Check out all of the incredible eats, beats, and art at this celebration of creativity! This is one of my very favorite festivals, and you are lucky to be visiting while it’s happening!

    I wish you a very magical adventure at Disney World!
