Magic Band + at DLR

[mom2rtk]

I have a Magic Band+ I bought during the WDW 50th anniversary. I thought I'd throw it in for our upcoming DLR visit. A few questions:

1) Do I need to pair it with the DLR app? If so, can you point me toward some instructions?
2) Is there a full list of special effects I want to make sure I find?

1) yes, it needs to be paired to the DLR app. It will need to be unpaired from your WDW app most likely first.

2) good question. I’d like to see a list too.

During my last trip, the most noticeable effect for me was when you are exiting the HM. It seemed to be triggered by parades and fireworks too, but I wasn’t paying as much attention when that was going on.

I do not believe you have to unpair it from My Disney Experience, but it does need to be added to your DLR app. They do work a little differently though in that at WDW the band is paired to your MDE Profile, but at DLR the band is assigned to a ticket (and thus a ticket holder). It's similar, but slightly different.
