Hey Howdy Hey Margarita and welcome back to planDisney!
When MagicBands were introduced many years ago, this completely changed the Theme Park experience. Having access to your Theme Park Tickets and charging privileges from one handy device on your wrist was so helpful in simplifying your day in the parks. With
MagicBand+, this experience got so much better. Not only do we have all the convenience of MagicBands, but now we can be part of the show! While having your smart device with the
My Disney Experience app is crucial for a few perks with your MagicBand+, it is not necessary for many of the experiences. Let's go over the details!
Margarita, I am happy to inform you that most engagements with MagicBand+ in the parks do not require anything extra to get the full experience. Your family will be able to interact with the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection Statues in each park as well as become part of the parades and nighttime fireworks shows. The one thing that they will have issues with is Disney's Hollywood Studios. In
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Guests can become Bounty Hunters searching through Batuu for treasures accessible with their MagicBand+ and the My Disney Experience app. If that is not on anyone's list to do, everyone should get the maximum benefit from the MagicBand+ in the parks. Likewise, if the family did want to take part in finding bounties in Batuu, you would have to be there with them.
Outside of having the convenience of having almost everything I need for my day in the park accessible with MagicBand+ and picking out my favorite design, I love being part of the show in the parks. There are so many shows and attractions you will be immersed in with your MagicBand+.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom will have you dancing with Ray and all your friends as you party your way down the bayou with Princess Tiana as your MagicBand+ will let you in on the party!
I hope this information was helpful so you can rest assured that your family will still be able to get the most out of their MagicBand+ during their park visits. If you have any other questions let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
