Disney’s Magic Band FAQ Link

Thank you. It’s a magic band plus. I know the charging part only means that the light up feature works. I didn’t think it help the function if you like of the band.

Since it's a MB+, bring the charging cable that came with it and re-charge it nightly. The battery in the MB+ should keep it's charge for several days unless you do any of the interactive games (Bounty Hunting in Galaxy's Edge, etc.).

Oh yes, recharging it means the battery is active and the MB+ will link ride photos to your account! I just bought a MB+ for our upcoming trip so that I didn’t have to worry about whether the battery was working or not for photos - I’m not really concerned about playing games or having it light up. I plan to recharge it every night, just like I charge my phone and watch.

Yeah I actually have the charger next to it. They are stored together. I loved the way it lit up at certain times and also during the nightime shows. I thought it was a wee bit of extra magic.

Does anyone know if this orange bird magic band is still available on property anywhere?

I didn't see it anywhere, but not 100% sure. I have that one, though, and it is so cute!

MB+ is showing up in the MDE App but not on the website. MDE website (disney.go) is telling me to buy a new band.

Current MB+ nor any of my previous MB's are showing up. Bug?

For resort stays, when we pre-purchase online, does Disney send one charger per band or one charger for the order/room? We have a split stay, so would divide up the orders if the latter.

One per MB+.

Do they even have any magic bands under 25.00 anymore. I’m not really interested in magic band plus and charging it. I have some old ones but haven’t used any for 2 years. Not sure the battery is still good.

I can’t answer the price question, but I can tell you your old MBs will still work for everything that requires you to tap your MB to a reader - opening room doors, entering parks & Genie+LLs, charging to your room, etc. The only function that goes away is linking ride photos where there isn’t a photo tap point at the end of the ride.

Oh good thank you!
