    How long does it take to charge your magic bands?

    Howdy, Jessica, and welcome to planDisney! Your magical Disney vacation is just around the corner. I know that you are getting excited! 

    MagicBand+ typically takes just a few hours to fully charge, and once it’s powered up, the battery usually lasts a couple of days with regular use. That said, I always recommend bringing the charger along on your trip and making it part of your nightly routine to plug it in, just like you would your phone or tablet.

    With long park days, interactive features, and all the tapping for Lightning Lanes and park entry, it’s better to be safe than sorry. A quick overnight charge ensures your MagicBand+ is ready to go for the next day’s adventures. If you're traveling with multiple bands, it’s also helpful to pack a small power strip or a multi-port USB charger to keep everything powered up with ease.

    Also, don’t forget that if you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can use your MagicBand+ to make purchases throughout the parks and resorts, as well as to unlock your room door. It’s a great way to travel light without having to dig through your bag for your wallet or key.

    Let us know if you have more questions before your vacation, Jessica! We're happy to help with all of the Disney details.

    Toodles,

My love for all things Disney began at the age of three, thanks to my parents. Today, that passion is shared with my own Prince, Princess, husband, and extended family, all of whom adore the magic of Walt Disney World just as much as I do. I’m thrilled to share that passion with you and help make your next Disney vacation truly unforgettable! Learn More About Korliss
