    Hi! We have Magic Band+ that we use at Disneyland (our home park). We are going on a Disney Cruise and then WDW. How can we use our same bands at these other locations? We do not frequent WDW that often and don’t want to purchase new bands.

    Hi, Julie! Welcome to planDisney.

    I’m so excited (and a tiny bit jealous) to hear about your upcoming trip. You’ve planned a dream vacation with a Disney Cruise and a visit to Walt Disney World Resort. That’s a double dose of "Happily Ever After" if I’ve ever heard one.

    Here’s the great news: your Disneyland Resort MagicBand+ can be used both on land and at sea. On your Disney Cruise, it will function as a DisneyBand+ on select sailings across the fleet, including the Disney Dream, Fantasy, Magic, Wonder, Treasure, and Wish. DisneyBand+ will also be available on the Disney Destiny starting in November 2025, though it won’t be offered on Disney Adventure sailings beginning in December 2025. With your band, you’ll be able to unlock your stateroom, make onboard purchases, and check any little ones into the kids' clubs, all with just a tap.

    When you arrive at Walt Disney World, the same MagicBand+ will work seamlessly. Once it’s linked to your My Disney Experience account, you can use it to enter the parks, redeem Lightning Lane selections, and link those must-have Disney PhotoPass pictures. There's no need to buy a new band!

    What a wonderful way to enjoy the best of both worlds, Julie. Cruising with Disney and then stepping right into the magic of Walt Disney World. Wishing you smooth sailing and magical park memories from start to finish!
