Hi Carmela,
Welcome back to planDisney! It's always great to see returning Guests like you stopping by with more Disney vacation planning questions. I love being part of your Disney planning journey and am thrilled to help answer your question about the versatile MagicBand+.
The
MagicBand+ is an incredible tool that adds a whole new level of convenience and fun to your Walt Disney World experience. It can be used to unlock your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room, link your
Disney PhotoPass photos, and enter the parks (with valid admission). It even enhances interactive experiences on select attractions and nighttime spectaculars by syncing with special effects! However, while the MagicBand+ can't track your steps or calories burned to give you the green light on enjoying another Mickey-shaped ice cream bar, here's a tip: I wear my MagicBand+ on my right wrist and my fitness watch on my left. This way, I can see how many miles I've walked during my vacation and indulge guilt-free! You'd be surprised how much ground you cover. After running the runDisney half-marathon a few years ago, my wife and I spent the day exploring Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, and we walked another 13.1 miles! Needless to say, I slept well that night!
You have plenty of options if you want to pick up a new MagicBand+. You can find them on
Disneystore.com, at
Disney Springs' Pin Traders, or the
Pin Traders – Camera Center in EPCOT. With so many designs to choose from, you're sure to find one that's perfect for your next Disney vacation.
Thanks so much for swinging by planDisney again, Carmela. Wishing you a fantastic visit filled with unforgettable moments and plenty of steps toward those Mickey-shaped treats! If you have any more questions, we're always here to help.
See you real soon!
Brent
