If you purchased your DisneyBand+ through Disney Cruise Line with an eligible reservation, when it arrives in the mail, you are all set! Charge it before you leave. Pack your charger and wear your DisneyBand+ on embarkation day. When you check in at the Port, the Port Agent will tap your band to activate it for full shipboard use.
Once on board the ship, you have the option to pair the band to your smart device via Bluetooth in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. Pairing allows you to check your battery life, customize your band’s settings and update the band’s software (if available). Make sure to download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app prior to sailing—or if you already have it, make sure it's up to date.
