MagicBands and Laundry Rooms

[cheshirecollector]

I was recently at the Caribbean Beach Resort, trying to do laundry. The doors to the laundry room are supposed to be opened by a card or MagicBand. I noticed the little box you slide the card into on the wall next to the doors, but I only had the MagicBand. There didn't seem to be anything to line it up with, though.

Every time I wanted to go in, I would wave my MagicBand in front of the door, in front of the card box, etc. At first, nothing would happen, but eventually the doors would open. I still have no idea how I did it.

How are you supposed to open the laundry room doors with the MagicBand? What did I finally do right? Thanks for your help.

I find pressing mine magic band Mickey symbol just below the little wifi symbol seemed to work about 80% of the time, sometimes I had to try a few times - it very rarely worked the first try.
