    I bought my magic band in Nov of 2021. I last used it in Aug of 2024 and it worked fine with capturing ride photos, etc. I am headed back in Nov of this year and want to know if it will still work for ride photos. Is there a way to know?

    Welcome to planDisney, Pam! 

    We are so happy to hear from you, and I hope that you’re getting excited for your upcoming trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth! You’re going to be here in just a handful of days — you might want to bring a light jacket as it has been getting a little cooler in the evenings. 

    I’m so glad that your MagicBand worked last year, Pam, and I hope it works for you again on your upcoming trip. I have had great luck with my MagicBands lasting a long, long time, Pam — but every battery within the MagicBands is going to be a little different, so there’s really no way to guarantee that your current band will work for this trip until you try to use it for the first time either getting into your hotel room, making a purchase, or entering the theme parks. I am crossing my fingers and wishing on the evening star for you, though! Be sure to bring your MagicBand, and if it doesn’t work, you can purchase a new one at almost any of the gift shops within Disney World. 

    You can also enable your location on the My Disney Experience App as that is another way to link your photos from rides to your account! 

    If you have any additional questions, please visit us again at planDisney. 

    See ya REAL soon,
