MagicBand+ on Friends; Main Street; pairing

    Mark from CA Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Are there any “Made with Magic” experiences in Walt Disney World using the IR/Bluetooth version of the Mickey ears/wand? Experiences at certain locations or attractions? Or is this feature limited to the Mickey ears and wand/paintbrush magical experience?

    Hello Mark!

    Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. I remember the magical light-up ears you are referring to, but unfortunately, they are no longer available for purchase at disneystore.com. My fellow panelist Ashley indicated existing devices may still sync in an answer from a few years ago, but I'm not certain whether that's still the case now.

    However, there is an alternate interactive option you might want to consider! MagicBand+ is available in a variety of styles and colors and offers interactive experiences in addition to the ability to enter the parks with linked admission, open your Disney Resorts Collection hotel door, and sync attraction photos. MagicBand+ can also be used for select experiences at Disneyland Resort and aboard Disney Cruise Line.

    At Walt Disney World Resort, this wearable technology will interact with the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection statues and will light up in sync with nighttime spectaculars like Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom Park and Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios. My kids love watching their bands glow to match these performances and always get a kick out of the surprise audio and haptic vibrations as their bands interact with the gold character status all over the parks. The Figment statue at EPCOT always gets our bands going even when we are a decent distance away, but we've had to get creative moving and waving to make some of the others come to life. It's always fun and good for a few laughs!

    If you have an upcoming stay, discounted bands may be available through your resort reservation. Head on over to the My Magic Bands and Cards menu on the My Disney Experience menu bar online to order them before your visit, or you can wait until you arrive onsite to review the available selection.

    I hope this was helpful, Mark. Please come back and see us again as you prepare for your trip next month.

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
