Welcome back to planDisney, Randy!
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to Walt Disney World Resort you go! I bet you're more than a little excited your vacation is just around the riverbend. Before you know it, you'll be standing right in the middle of Main Street, U.S.A with a Mickey Pretzel in hand. With the fun of the 50th Anniversary Celebration and the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts to look forward to, you're sure to have a swell time!
Unfortunately, the
MagicBand+ is the only iteration of MagicBand that is rechargeable at this time. This is why you do not see a charging port of any kind on your MagicBand. Not to worry though! Your MagicBand still has many of the same functionalities of the MagicBand+ and will be just as useful during your upcoming trip. You can use it to
open your Disney Resort hotel room door, enter the theme parks, check in at
Lightning Lane entrances and
virtual queues, link your
Disney PhotoPass photos, and
charge purchases to your Disney Resort hotel room during your stay. You can even wear it while you’re enjoying pool time at your Resort, because it is waterproof.
While it’s not rechargeable, your MagicBand can be
used again during future Walt Disney World Resort trips, as it will remain linked to your
My Disney Experience account. Even if the
long-range battery that automatically links Disney PhotoPass attraction pictures and videos to your account wears out, the other functionalities should remain intact. If you were hoping to own a MagicBand that you can recharge, perhaps consider purchasing a MagicBand+ during your time here. They make for a great souvenir and can be
linked and used right away.
Randy, there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow waiting for you at Walt Disney World Resort! Enjoy your trip, and stop by again if we can be of further assistance.
See ya real soon,
Alyssa
