Any tips for the Play Disney Parks app?

[Kait_]

Hello hello!

We're going to use the Play Disney Parks app for the first time on our next Disney trip. And I was wondering if anyone had any tips for getting the most out of this

It seems that for some activities (like the interactive statues) we need each person to have their own device, with the Play app installed, signed into their Disney account, and linked to their MagicBand+.

I found 2 sites with good info on setting that up for kids:

• Info step by step:

• Official info:

I think we'll skip the Star Wars stuff (well maybe my husband will do it haha). It looks a little complicated for my little ones who aren't into that yet anyway.

We're really excited for "collecting" the statues, the Duck Tails game in EPCOT, and the interactive elements in lines. Bummed that Peter Pan just closed so we won't get to do that one.

I'm a little confused about the line games. It looks like you pick one member of the party and all play on their device as multiple players. Is that right?

Anyway, just looking for tips! I'm in Europe, our MagicBand+s are with my mother in New Jersey, and we'll all get united on check-in day. Which means I'll be setting this up after arrival, unfortunately. So I want to do it right the first time, ya know? Not waste a second of precious Disney-time

cheers,
