Hi there, Amanda!
The inner geek in me is feeling very excited about the debut of MagicBand+ at the Disneyland Resort. I purchased a new MagicBand+ during a recent stay at the
Walt Disney World Resort. I can’t wait to take that band with me on our next visit to the Disneyland Resort too! I’m especially intrigued to experience what surprises may be in store when wearing a MagicBand+ during entertainment experiences at
Avengers Campus.
As you are aware,
MagicBand+ is arriving at the Disneyland Resort soon. MagicBand+ may be purchased at the Disneyland Resort by Cast Members,
Disney Vacation Club members, and Disneyland Resort
Magic Key holders beginning October 19. All other Disneyland Resort Guests may purchase bands at select locations
beginning October 26. Guests who have already purchased a MagicBand+ at Walt Disney World Resort, from
shopDisney, or during the preview purchase period beginning October 19 may begin using select features of their bands at The Happiest Place on Earth even before the October 26 broad debut.
At the Walt Disney World Resort, Guests with supported mobile devices may use the
Disney MagicMobile Service to unlock the magic of a Walt Disney World vacation using their phone or watch. This type of service has not yet migrated to the Disneyland Resort. But I’m excited to see what lies ahead for Disney Parks fans on the west coast too. I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest news and information.
Tony’s Tip: Update to the latest versions of the
Disneyland mobile app and
Play Disney Parks app to ensure compatibility with MagicBand+. Depending on usage, the MagicBand+ battery may last up to a few days. But I recommend charging it overnight each day of use.
Have a magical time, Amanda!
