Question about the Character Magic Bands

[PoohsFan1]

While my kids and I were on our "Girls Only" trip in January, each girl wanted to get one of the character Magic Bands to use for future trips (we go multiple times a year). My DD11 got a Anna Magic Band while DD13 chose the Big Hero Six band with Hiro and Baymax. We are heading to WDW again (this time with DH) and the girls want to use their new bands. I am wondering if anyone knows how to link them into the MDE account so that our passes, dining plan, and FPs show up on them. Has anyone bought these before and used them? How would you go about doing this? Thanks for all your help.

They need to have been "set" to be linked to an MDE account (by the CM who sold them to you) when you purchased them.
If they WERE set when you bought them, you can enter their numbers (found on the band) into your MDE account and connect each MB with the proper person.

On the underside of the MB, there is an ID number that has to be linked to the correct person in your MDE Profile section. After linked to your MDE account, the MagicBands will provide the link to all the data in your account.

Check the MagicBands & Cards page in MDE. They may have been linked to your account at the time of purchase.

Thank you ROBO and hiroMYhero for your help, you guys are the best!! I do remember when I was buying them the CM said that she "set" the bands so we can use them if we would like but we never did...they are still in their packaging .

Check the MagicBands & Cards page in MDE. They may have been linked to your account at the time of purchase.

If not linked at the time of purchase, the MagicBands & Cards page has the button to link them as noted by Robo & hiroMYhero.
