When Ought I To Connect My Magic Bands?

To use your Disney MagicBand+ before scanning into the parks, follow these steps:

1. Power on your MagicBand+ by pressing the button on the back in the lower right corner.
2. Tap your band to the park or dining reservation. If you purchased Lightning Lane passes, you can use your MagicBand+ to access Lightning Lane entrances.
3. Order Magic Bands for staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel and access the My Disney Experience website. Link your resort reservation to your account and personalize your bands.
4. Open the MyDisneyExperience or Disneyland app and hover over the “My Disney Experience” link on the top right. Click on “My MagicBands”.
5. Share your MagicBand+ with your friends and family to ensure they have access to your account.
6. Check your My Disney Experience app to see if your tickets are linked. If not, link them.
7. Log in to the Disney app and navigate to the Account Page. Click “Link to Account” and choose “Link MagicBand or Card”. Enter your MagicBand ID Number.
8. Magic Bands are already “active” and can be assigned to someone through MDE and attached to a park or other reservation. The “active” label in MDE means that the bands are still linked to your name, account, and reservation.
9. Once logged in, link your resort reservation to your My Disney Experience account. This step is crucial as it paves the way for customizing and using your MagicBand+ in the parks.

How do I know if my MagicBand is linked to my reservation?

In order to link your MagicBand, navigate to your account page and select the “My Profile” option. The section entitled “MagicBands and Cards” contains a list of all the MagicBands that have been successfully linked and are currently in use. Furthermore, it is possible to link a MagicBand and reset its PIN number. To accomplish this, one must visit the Disney World website.

Can I use my MagicBand from 5 years ago?

You can use a MagicBand from a previous Walt Disney World vacation for your next one as long as it is active in your My Disney Experience account. The MagicBand’s battery can last up to two years, so you can use it for multiple vacations. However, your MagicBand’s 5-6 year old battery may not be functional and is sealed, making it impossible to change or check at home. It’s recommended to bring your MagicBand on your Walt Disney World vacation and check if it works for park entry. If the battery is depleted, you can purchase a new MagicBand at various Walt Disney World stores. If you want to purchase MagicBands before your vacation, shopDisney offers a great selection.

Should I pair all MagicBands to my phone?

Allison suggests linking her family’s MagicBands to her My Disney Experience account to make it easier to manage their plans.

To link the MagicBands, go to the My Disney Experience app, click on the “MagicBands and More” tile, and select “Link a MagicBand or Card” under your child’s name. You can use the scanner feature or manually enter the MagicBand number from the back of the MagicBand.

To link tickets, tap the hamburger icon at the bottom of the app screen and select “Link to Account”.

This process works for tickets purchased through Disney and third-party vendors. The MagicBands are highly adjustable, allowing them to accommodate everyone from preschoolers to linebackers. Proper sizing is key to comfort, so keep adjusting until you get the fit just right.

Do MagicBands come pre-linked?

Ordering pre-arrival MagicBands as part of a Disney World resort stay offers three advantages: a small discount, easy identification of the band’s owner, and the ability to manage them in My Disney Experience. However, MagicBand+ bands require pairing with a phone for management.

To link a MagicBand or MagicBand+, use the My Disney Experience app. For a MagicBand+, power on the band, tap it to the back of your smartphone, and follow the prompts. If not possible, tap the hamburger icon at the bottom of the app screen and select “Link to Account”.

Scan the QR code or barcode on the back of the band using your phone’s camera, hold the MagicBand against your phone, and type in the serial number from the back of the band. This process is the fastest and easiest way to manage MagicBands in My Disney Experience.

What does pairing your MagicBand do?

To pair a MagicBand+ with My Disney Experience, ensure that the MagicBand+ is charged and Bluetooth enabled on your phone. Tap the Hamburger, scroll down to MagicBands and Cards, and select the person whose MagicBand+ you want to pair. Make sure MagicBand+ is selected in the top slider menu, and tap through to the MagicBand+ you want to pair (if there are more). Hold down the button on the back for three seconds, then tap “Pair” when you see the request on your phone.

If you don’t see the pairing request, it’s usually due to not holding down the button long enough or not holding the MagicBand+ close enough to the phone. This process is only necessary if you want to change the settings of your MagicBand+.

How far in advance do you get MagicBands?

MagicBands are shipped within 11 days of the order date. Alternatively, guests may choose to pick up their MagicBands at the resort upon check-in, provided that the order is placed at least six days prior to arrival. Furthermore, MagicBands are available for purchase at various merchandise locations within the parks and at Disney Springs.
