Welcome back to planDisney, Janet. Thanks for bringing us another excellent question.
Like you, I have a MagicBand 2 from a previous
Walt Disney World vacation that I wanted to use at the
Disneyland Resort. Unfortunately,
The Happiest Place on Earth only supports MagicBand+. I'm sorry if this is disappointing. I ended up upgrading to a MagicBand+ and it was a great move! Not only does it work at Disneyland but you can also use it aboard
Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney World. Unlocking that much magic with one MagicBand feels very VIP!
Janet, I know your trip is still months away but any trip to the Disneyland Resort in September will likely encounter some happy haunts, as it will be Halloween Time. If time and budget allow, I highly recommend snagging tickets to
Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party. This special, after-hours event is one of my family's favorite traditions. From treat trails to villain encounters and more, it is a great way to add extra enchantment to your stay. These tickets are an additional cost to regular theme park entry and unlock phenomenal cosmic power and access to
Villains Grove, the Frightfully Fun parade, shorter attraction wait times, and exclusive event merchandise and food offerings. It is all treats - no tricks!
I hope this information helps plan an amazing vacation, Janet. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'd be more than happy to help!
Frightfully yours,
Melissa
