Using the Disneyland App
You will need the Disneyland app and a Disney account to enjoy the full functionality of your MagicBand+.
MagicBand+ works with select new and unique MagicBand+ experiences even if the MagicBand+ is not linked to a Disney account through the Disneyland app. However, with certain features such as park entry, interactive experiences or checking in at Lightning Lane entrances, the band will not work without linking to a Disney account and having valid park admission and reservation, or Lightning Lane entry, respectively.
