Hi, there!
Welcome back to planDisney, Jenny. We're delighted to see you again! It looks like your visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort is just a few weeks away now. You must be counting down the days with excitement!
Isn't the new
MagicBand+ awesome? With enhanced features and new in-park experiences, I can't wait to wear one on my next Disney vacation. You ask an excellent question about the sizing of MagicBand+. Much like a traditional MagicBand, MagicBand+ is two different sized bands in one. I'm not sure where you saw that MagicBand+ is intended for ages 8 and up, but I can tell you that you can certainly purchase a MagicBand+ for younger children. To size a MagicBand+ for a little wrist, simply push the inner band away from the outer band and peel it away quickly. I haven't tried sizing a MagicBand+ for one of my kids yet, but the process looks just like the sizing process for a traditional MagicBand!
During your visit to the theme parks, be sure to check out the "Disney Fab 50 Quest" with your new MagicBand+. Using your MagicBand+, you can help Tinker Bell bring the
50th Anniversary sculptures to life in a pixie-dusted way!
I hope this was helpful, Jenny. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Disney vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
