    I plan to have my magicband+ shipped to my resort hotel. When I arrive at the resort for check in, will it be charged to use that day in one of the parks?

    Hi Carson!

    Oh boy, oh boy!  It’s almost time for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!  Do you have those mouse ears packed yet?  Since you're in the final days before your arrival, now is the time to double-check those plans and make any final pre-arrival purchases like Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass for your must-do attractions or Memory Maker to make sure you bring home all of those magical memories you're about to make! 

    Carson, MagicBand+ is the perfect Mouseketool to enhance your vacation!  Not only is it functional, but it’s also fun and comes in so many cute designs.  I may have gathered quite the collection over the years as I like to wear different ones depending on the season, the park I’m visiting, and the outfit I’m wearing.  Any active MagicBand linked to your My Disney Experience account can be used interchangeably during your vacation so I’m always finding reasons to add to my collection!

    My experience with MagicBand+ is that it typically has a partial charge right out of the box.  I normally like to give mine a full charge before first use, but if you have ordered yours to pick up at your hotel upon arrival you should be OK to start your day.  If it does run out of battery during your day, you should still find that it will work at touchpoints like tapping in at entrances to theme parks or Lightning Lanes, but you may lose interactive functions like the lights and haptics during fireworks and select shows.  Don’t forget to make sure your new band is linked to your My Disney Experience account before heading to the parks! 

    Carson, I hope you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort this week!  If you have any other vacation planning questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!

    See ya real soon!
