Hey Kelly! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for reaching out with your question. I absolutely love
MagicBands, and my collection just keeps growing. I'm on the lookout for a cool case to show off to all my Disney-loving friends because, let's be honest, with all the fantastic and unique designs out there, who can blame us for wanting to flaunt our MagicBands, right?
If you're referring to the classic MagicBand design, the battery typically lasts between 2-3 years on average, but it can vary based on usage. I've had classic MagicBands that lasted over 3 years, so it really depends. If you're considering getting a new MagicBand+, they're rechargeable and can last a really long time on a single charge, usually 2-3 days, based on my experience. I do recommend charging it overnight every day during your trip to make sure it's ready for all the fun, allowing you to use it for Lightning Lane entrance, as a Resort room key, and to interact with fireworks shows, parades, and more around the parks.
Before I wrap up, here's a personal tip for you, Kelly: the
My Disney Experience app is your best friend when it comes to managing your MagicBands. You can link all your MagicBands, including the new MagicBand+, and easily check their battery levels. Plus, you can link a credit card to your account and use your MagicBand or MagicBand+ to make purchases. It's a game-changer, making your Disney adventure even more enjoyable by leaving your wallet and credit cards behind.
I hope this helps with your planning, Kelly. Feel free to
come back and ask if you have any other questions. We're always here and happy to help our friends like you.
Cheers
Nilson
