Hi there, Maxine! It looks like you’ve got a fall visit to look forward to! October is such a great time to visit Disney World! More on that in just a bit, but let’s get to the answer you came looking for!
MagicBands are an important part of planning your Disney World vacation! They are a great accessory and add a ton of convenience to your vacation. Based on your question, I’m guessing that you have the older version of MagicBands. If that is the case, then they will most likely no longer function. However, if you are referring to
MagicBand+, then those can be recharged and reused for your visit this October. If you have MagicBand+, they will have come with a charger.
Maxine, if my guess is correct and you have the older version of MagicBand, then it is time for some vacation planning fun! You can purchase MagicBand+ for your upcoming visit! Visit
disneystore.com to see the many options currently available. I’ve currently got my eyes on the new R2D2 MagicBand and Disney Dad MagicBand! Additionally, you might find some special offers for MagicBands through your My Disney Experience account if you are staying at a Disney World Resort hotel for your vacation! Be sure to check that out before making any purchases on disneystore.com. You could save a nice amount of money by purchasing the bands through your My Disney Experience account!
I mentioned earlier that October is one of my favorite times to visit. That is because of
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! You might want to check out the spirited soiree that is held on select nights at Magic Kingdom. This separately ticketed event is quite popular during the spooky season! If you choose to go, be sure to stick around for Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade! For me, this is the highlight of the party! The parade is so popular, it takes place twice during the party!
Dreams do come true!
