Welcome to planDisney, Holly! It's wonderful to have you visit with us for help regarding your MagicBand.
One of the great things about your MagicBand is that it’s reusable, so the magic doesn’t end after just one trip! If you have a
MagicBand+, just make sure the battery is fully charged before you head out for the day. While the band will still work for basic functions like park entry and
Lightning Lane access without a charge, you’ll need battery power for those interactive features, like light-up effects during nighttime shows, vibrations, and syncing with statues or attractions around the parks.
I recommend charging it overnight and bringing the charger and a portable charger along in case you need a boost during a long park day.
As long as the battery is still working, which usually lasts a few years, you can link your MagicBand to future Walt Disney World vacations right through your
My Disney Experience account.
If you’re unsure whether an older MagicBand is still active, you can check its status under "
My MagicBands and Cards" in your account. And if it’s no longer working, it’s the perfect excuse to pick out a new design for your next adventure!
Holly, thanks for stopping by! If you have more planning questions for your upcoming vacation, please visit with us again soon.
Toodles,
Korliss
