Welcome to planDisney Lloyd!
Your magical Walt Disney World vacation is just around the corner! You must be so excited! You will be staying at one of my very favorite resorts.
Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter is so charming and is just a quick walk from its sister resort, Riverside. Make sure to take a stroll down the Sassagoula River to check it out!
To check if your MagicBand is still active, head to DisneyWorld.com. Under the "My Disney Experience" tab, select "My Magic Bands and Cards." You will see a list of your MagicBands. Make sure your bands are listed as "Active." If your bands are active, you should be good to go!
So now for the
maybe bad news. The expected battery life on a MagicBand is about 2 years, so your bands might not work. However, give them a try as I have older MagicBands that still have a bit of pixie dust in them and work just fine!
Hakuna Matata, no worries if your bands have lost their magic! One option is to buy the new
MagicBand+. These are super fun, interactive MagicBands that have all the same capabilities as the classic bands, but with more magic. They are even rechargeable.
Another option is
Disney MagicMobile Service. Use your phone for everything as you would a MagicBand, including accessing your
Theme Park Tickets, opening the door to your room, and making charges to your account.
Your final option is to go "old school" and stop by the front desk of your resort and pick up a card that will do it all! So many options, and all are interchangeable so try everything until you find what is the most convenient.
One last tip - do not miss the delicious made to order beignets at your resort. What a treat!
Let the countdown to your Walt Disney World vacation begin!
