Magic Band + needs a bit of work....

My Minnie Mouse band arrived two days before our 8/22 -8/29 trip. I charged it before we left and was so excited to use it. It lit up and vibrated when entering the parks, scanning into rides, and fireworks. The fireworks lights were nice, but I was hoping for a bit more interaction. The statues were hit or miss. The Epcot statues responded but were hard to hear. HS took a few tries. If several people were waving bands around I just stepped back and waited a few minutes. The Soul statue outside the Brown Derby was very cool. MK statues were impossible to hear but I think the music in the park was loud in general. AK was ok. “Did you hear anything?” was a very common question near the statues. Lots of people seemed frustrated. The band held a charge all day. I plugged it in every night, but there was never a time when the charge was low. I did see guests using it in Galaxy’s Edge and that looked fun. I hope they add some more features to it, but I am glad I have it.

I'm still disappointed I wasted my money.

We had lanyard pins forever ago that displayed lights. My favorite feature was when the pin flashed colored lights specific to each country when in World Showcase. I thought for sure the MB+ would have the same feature.

I may get new batteries for the pins and give them a try on our next Disney vacay.
