MagicBand+ at Aulani - (April 2025)

When I was there in Nov, the lifeguard asked me what the Magic Band can do... LOL. Iʻve been using it for years so I was happy to share!

There were some really cool Aulani-specific designs of the MagicBand 2.0 that I think only ever appeared as a "coming soon" banner ad at Shop Disney. I don't think they ever saw the light of day before COVID blew everything up and then eventually MB 2.0 was replaced with MB+.

It feels like in that chaos there was never a real thorough "rollout" of MBs at Aulani like they had originally planned, so lots of CMs never got any kind of training about them.

... But it's particularly fantastic at Aulani since the MB+ is waterproof. So constantly jumping in and out of the pools, beach/ocean, showers, etc is no problem. Just leave it on. We never had to carry any wallet or another form of payment as long as we were on the resort. We just left all that in the room.

We rolled with only a MB and a cell phone in a waterproof pouch, and we were set! ...

...My favorite thing was the fact that they are waterproof. So great to not have carry cash, cards or room keys.

I didn't know whether or not MB+s were waterproof, and with how expensive they are, I didn't want to gamble and fry one. That's good to know. Thanks! We have waterproof pouches for our cellphones, but keeping our MB+s on around Aulani and the WDW water parks will make things easier.

The only downside to wearing the MB in the pool is if the magic band is white I found that it started to have a slight yellow hue to it. I *think* this is from the pool and not the sun.
