I'm thinking about buying a "special" Magic Band for my mom for her birthday, but I'm not entirely sure how it works. We have a trip planned for Thanksgiving, and her birthday is a couple weeks before. My plan is to buy one of the bands from the Disney Store website so she will have it before we leave and to use for our Thanksgiving trip. But how does it get linked to our reservation and/or activated for use in the parks and at the resort (we're staying at AKL)? Will we need to do something in the My Disney Experience app before we leave for the trip? Or do we bring the band with us and have them link it at the front desk during check-in?
I get confused enough by the Magic Bands we get free from Disney each trip. I know she would love the special band, but I also don't want to open up a world of Disney tech issues by trying to use a purchased band. TIA for any help!
