Should you buy the new MagicBand+ for your next Walt Disney ... (wdwmagic.com)

The main benefit to MagicBand+ beyond the rechargeable battery is the interaction with locations in the parks. Currently, this consists of a Star Wars Bounty ...

It uses your phone or watch to deliver all of the capabilities of the basic MagicBand in a device that you already own, charge and carry with you. The games are a fun extra, and should be a hit with kids. Currently, this consists of a Star Wars Bounty Hunty game in Galaxy's Edge, a game to discover the Fab 50 character statues, and synchronized lighting with Disney's nighttime shows. To power the extra functionality of the MagicBand+, the device uses a rechargeable battery that Disney says should be charged daily overnight. This brings the likely device charging count to eight for every single night of the vacation. Taking a family of four, each night, they will be charging four MagicBand+ devices, phones for the adults, and possibly watches.

For an avid Disney Parks goer, $35 for a solid color and $45 for a design, a $15 increase from a regular Magicband, may not be worth the plunge with lackluster offerings attached. In addition to the new design, three main activities can be completed, as of now, at the parks. After being announced last September, today is finally the day; Magicband+ launched at Walt Disney World. Magicband+ is the latest generation of the popular wearable introduced to the resort in 2013.

The MagicBand+ will buzz and light up when you get close to a statue and when you wave the character will give you a response. Many thought that it was the end for MagicBands when the complimentary MagicBand program for Walt Disney World resort guests finished at the beginning of 2021. With many complaining of battery drain when having to continually use the My Disney Experience App, Disney seems to have responded and MagicBand+ seems to be their answer. The current MagicBands can still be used at Walt Disney World but the new interactive features will only work if you purchase a MagicBand+. The new MagicBand+ will light up and will interact with the Fab 50 statues around the park with each statue said to have multiple responses. We will keep you posted when an announcement is made on our news and Facebook page. We have now learnt from reporter Scott Gustin in a recent tweet which is embedded below that the MagicBand+ will sync with Spaceship Earth at EPCOT. MagicBand+ will go on sale for $34.99 in select shops at Walt Disney World and online at shopDisney from July 27. UPDATE July 21 - Disney has officially announced today that MagicBand+ will launch at Walt Disney World on July 27. Disney has just officially announced that MagicBand+ will launch this summer.

Former Cast Member Reveals 'The Weirdest Favor Disney World ... (Cinema Blend)

Disney World cast members want you to have a magical day, but they are not your friend.

Having said that, one hopes we can draw the line at asking Cast Members to literally go against the rules, right? The fact is that Cast Members will, generally speaking, be really nice to you and will help you with whatever your problem is to the best of their ability. Walt Disney World is a magical place and a bit part of the reason for that is the Cast Members that work there. And sometimes Cast Members get a lot of grief for doing the job. It’s maybe not actually that surprising that some people would start to react to cast members like this. I could even see somebody trying to make a joke, that I'm sure every Cast Member has heard so often it's not funny anymore, about getting them in for free, but the way its presented here some people aren't trying to be funny.

MagicBand+ Battery Dying Quickly During Use at Walt Disney World (wdwnt.com)

Are you experimenting with MagicBand+ today? Let us know about your experience in the comments. For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today ...

If the MagicBand+ dies, it does still function as a regular MagicBand. This means you would still be able to use it to enter a park or your hotel room, and for Lightning Lane and DAS access. As we have used our MagicBand+ for the past few hours, we’ve found that the batteries do charge quickly, but they also drain quickly. Guests are having some issues with their MagicBand+ battery after the new bands launched at Walt Disney World today.

At this time, Disney has not issued any sort of statement regarding the purported short battery life of MagicBand+ products. I also would not be able to keep up with working the phone and watching my magic band going off. But it appears that the biggest problem with MagicBand+ might not be a fixable software situation.
