Please explain: What do I do with all these cards?

[crowls]

Getting EXCITED ....less than one month before our first-ever trip!!! That said I am completely confused - what do I do with all of these cards?

Info: I have passes for everyone and a memory maker card - we are staying on-site but are from Canada so our Magic Bands will be picked up at the hotel when we arrive.

How do I get these entry cards and memory maker card connected to my Magic Bands? When I get a picture taken how do I know if my band or card is working and will link the picture? How do I know everything is connected properly to the band? (Looking for this to go smooth, family will not be happy if we line up for 7am EMH and there is a problem with the bands/passes, etc.)

Thanks for your help!!!

Have you linked your cards to your magic bands using my Disney Experence? If you have, just keep the cards with you in case there is an issue with your magic band.

I don't have the bands yet, I believe they do not ship to Canada. Will the bands allow me to do this once i pick them up from the hotel check in desk? I just checked MDE and I do not see my bands listed yet? Thank you for your help!

The bands just connect to your My Disney Experience (MDE) account. You want to have everything that you possibly can in your account before you get there. That way can start right away.

You can link your Memory Maker to your MDE account using the alpha numeric on the back of the card. If you log into MDE, there is a box towards the bottom where you can buy Memory Maker or put in your number.

It's the same thing for tickets. (I'm reading passes as tickets.) Most tickets have a 12 digit alpha numeric ID number on the back. Enter that number in MDE. You will have to assign them to the individuals in the group. The MDE site will acknowledge them if the number is valid. (I misstyped one out of our four and it was rejected.) The system will show the age group, number of days and any add ons purchased such as park hoppers and Water Parks and More.

You can add your ADRs and your resort confirmation if staying onsite. MDE is what gets you into the parks and onto the rides.

Have you made your FP+ reservations yet?
