MagicBand+ Now Available at Walt Disney World, Online

Walt Disney World guests were some of the first to get to use the new MagicBand+ today as the product launched both in the parks and online.

Guests got to the parks and got in line to purchase their MagicBand+ early, as we noticed this morning at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
However, there was not much of a line at Tatooine Traders, where we picked up the Grogu band.

Guests should be aware that when they pick up their new MagicBand+, they’ll need to update it before it can be used.
And, in order to update, the MagicBand+ will first need to be charged to at least 60%as they do not come fully charged.

The only challenge with MagicBand+ so far is the need to update the firmware. It’s easily done on the My Disney Experience app but the band has to be at 60% battery, mine was at “Low” out of the box. You can still use it and play Batuu Bounty Hunters but might have problems. pic.twitter.com/aX0YmFZFhb

Luckily, the MagicBand+ does come with its own USB charging cable which can be snapped right onto the back of the band.

Once the band is charged and updated, it can be used for fun games like Batuu Bounty Hunters in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or the Fab 50 Quest around all four Walt Disney World parks.

You can pick up your MagicBand+ in various shops across Walt Disney World or order one online on shopDisney.
