Hi Amanda! Thanks for stopping back to planDisney with this great question!
Let the countdown begin! You are less than two weeks away until you arrive for a magical
Walt Disney World stay! With all the new and exciting experiences that await, I'm sure you are ready to arrive and begin an unforgettable trip.
MagicBands and MagicBand+ are great accessories to have along with you for your stay. They come with a ton of features, including being able to use them for park entry, Lightning Lane entrances, and even as payment if you are staying in a
Disney Resort hotel. They come in a variety of Disney themes, including some modeled after your favorite Disney movies and characters.
Amanda, you'll be happy to know that even if your
MagicBand+ is not charged, it will still work for all the basic functions that a MagicBand performs. This includes all of the features I mentioned above, including using it to open your Disney Resort hotel room. The new features, including the band lighting up in bright colors and the vibrations that happen throughout your park day, will not work if the band is not charged. While I know it may be inconvenient to charge even more items each night of your stay, it will be up to you if you want the full experience that comes along with a MagicBand+.
If you don't already have them, you will find them all across the parks and resorts. You can even stop by
shopDisney.com for a wide selection to choose from!
Amanda, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us any time at planDisney!
