Hello Steven!
I am excited about the new MagicBand+, which launched on July 27th, 2022! I ordered two
MagicBand+ from shopDisney, and I can't wait to use them at Walt Disney World in November!
The new
MagicBand+ is rechargeable with a USB charging cord that is included with the MagicBand+, so you will be able to recharge it when the battery gets low. You must pair your MagicBand+ to your mobile phone and link it to your
My Disney Experience App. The
setup for a new MagicBand+ is very easy. The battery on the MagicBand+ is designed to last 1 to 3 days on a full charge depending on park usage, but it is recommended to charge it overnight before your planned park days. You can check the battery status of your MagicBand+ through the My Disney Experience App or by the colors displayed on the MagicBand+ (you press the button on the back of the band, and it will light up a color to give you the current battery status). Flashing Red indicates no battery charge (you should charge your MagicBand+ battery as soon as possible), flashing Yellow indicates a low battery, and flashing Green indicates a fully charged battery. The new MagicBand+ should be able to be used for many years as long as it is recharged before use.
I hope that your next Walt Disney World vacation is incredible!
