MagicBand+ at Walt Disney World *NOW AVAILABLE!!!*

[DaviVascaino]

YES!!! will buy a set for our upcoming trip with the resort discount

I wonder if they will sell them online in advance of July 27th. We leave a few days later and I doubt we will be able to easily find them when we arrive to WDW that first week they are out. Wish they allowed those staying on property July 27th or later to purchase them ahead of time---but that would be an onsite perk and why would they do something crazy like that?!

Same situation here.

It would be nice if they limited purchases at resort gift shops for a few weeks to guests of that resort only.....

Huzzzahhh!! Another place to happily blow my WDW dollar. Cannot wait!

 

[LuthienDragon]

Damn, today more colors are in the system for those of us staying on property in September...wonder if the PLUS ones will be available for us? Or should I just choose pink now? LMAO.

 

[Luna81]

So we all sign into the same my Disney experience account - me, husband, child. Do we need to have them each sign up for their own to have these work properly?

Agreed. We arrive on 7/29, so hoping we will be able to find them onsite! Even if they were available now to order online today, I would worry that they would not arrive on time. We leave early 7/28 as we are driving.....

No I don’t believe you will need to have separate accounts. I believe we will be able to link each person’s band to the correct person in the account (similar to how it is now but with different technology). They would not want young children having their own accounts.

MagicBand+ Launching July 27th at Walt Disney World

But our newest wearable also has great new features, including color-changing lights, haptic vibrations, and gesture recognition – plus it pairs to your smartphone using the My Disney Experience app. Once you get your hands on one, you’ll want to do it all – and there’s a lot you can do when MagicBand+ launches!

Thanks. Its too late for me as we were there in late June and early July, so oh well.

I’m with you. We arrive on 7/31 and I hope there will still be some available onsite by then!

Got to say the video doesn't hugely sell me on the benefits of paying more for a + (along with the hassle of needing to keep it charged over our two week trip) but let's see what people say when they start using them.

 

[CarolynFH]

I just wonder whether the puck is removable, so we could put it in a watch band slider or Magic Keeper. I hated wearing both a watch and a MB! But I love the images on the MB+ pucks!

 

[Meriweather]

Bye bye $$
But we want them!!
Family trip in Oct.
7 of us!!

MagicBand+ Setup Guide

Ahead of the release of MagicBand+ on July 27th, Disney has posted a MagicBand+ setup guide for guests purchasing the new wearable. Here’s the MagicBand+ setup guide:

• Step 1 – Power your band on by pressing the button on the back once, and tap the band to your phone.

• Step 2 – You will be directed to open or download the My Disney Experience app.
• Step 3 – Follow the instructions in the app to link the MagicBand+ to your Disney account, assign it to a Guest and pair it to your mobile device. Then, use the app to make sure your band is charged and the software is up to date.

• Step 4 – Be sure to link your park tickets, reservations and more.

Interesting. I'm happy there will be months worth of feedback before we have to get them for December.

I'm pretty sure some of the reviews that came out after these first accidentally appeared in store a few months back said the puck is a different shape than the current MB's. So I'm sure they'll be happy to sell anyone who wants them new versions of the appropriate additional accessories if they made the new pucks removable.

I thought these were supposed to have screens and could be used a watch? Doesn’t look like it.

Disney never said so. They fully described this back in September 2021. i have never seen a rumor that said anything like this at all.

According to CMs and others that were able to get these early, the battery life of Magicband+ lasts 1-3 days. It seems like it's another electronic you'll have to charge at the end of the night alongside your phone and portable charger. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of.
