❤Best Life!!!!! Thanks for more helpful information. Coming in Spring with our high school marching band, these are a definate purchase goal! Keep up the great content!!!!

[@emilygrae]

One of the few time that we went to Disneyland was around the time that Tron came out in theatres and Starcade was FULL of the Tron arcade cabinets. I loved the movie when I saw it but I hadn't at the time so I had no idea what was going on but it was beautiful and glorious black light and neon goodness! I loved it!

[@Its_spelled_grayce]

I’m wondering if this would be helpful with my DAS pass everytime I go

[@ambercrawford3239]

Thank you, guys, for reviewing everything the Magic Band does at Disneyland. All the information was perfect for people who plan to use them and are visiting soon. We have done WDW with Magic Bands and have hoped they would bring them to DL. I am so excited to try it out in Dec. We hope to run into you guys on Walt’s Birthday. I love your videos. Have a Magical day!

[@bodiep9132]

Was great meeting you today in the MagicBand line! Love your videos! Have learned so much.

[@joeleon5009]

Thank you for all the information regarding the Magic Band at Disneyland!! I found it very informative and helpful. I might purchase one of these on my next visit and I'm going to be sure not to lose the charging device. You guys remain my favorite Disney duo and I love the fun you bring to your channel!! I'm planning to visit Disneyland in January sometime for the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company celebration.

[@TripNWithRed]

I love your channel. I'm so glad you posted this video. You made it so easy to understand and it's amazing to see one of my favorite places on Earth.

[@jsherzzle]

I’ve waited all day for this😭💛 thank you!

[@lolawall3561]

This video is so helpful, I would be the frustrated one sitting there wondering what I did not do. Thank you for such useful content. I cant wait to get my magic band.

[@DrMcCoy007]

Thank you for the very informative video. Do you know how many bands you can purchase before the 26th? Did they have it posted anywhere? Will be there 23-24. 2 of our 6 party members are DVC so not sure if we can purchase one for all 6 of us.

[@Chlochamama]

Thank you for quick update!

[@coffeeismyjam2567]

Omg!!! Going Monday for mine. I can not wait!!!!

[@alexaebanie5800]

I learn a lot from you two 👍🏻👍🏻

[@coffeeismyjam2567]

Thankyou for being awesome guys.

[@mele7417]

Thank you guys for this. I was so worried how to link them. Technology challenged. This seems ok now. ❤ your help.

[@TheFreedomgal]

My hubby and I are going to Orlando on October 26th but we live near Disneyland so I’m excited we’ll be able to use our magic bands once we come home the next time we go to the park

[@sayitshay]

Im glad I got mine over at DCA! It looked crowded at Dland!

[@lucillegass4715]

That was so magical! New times wow!!😇😇

[@beckym5730]

Hen you buy them can they be used next time you go? Or do you have buy a new one each time you go?

[@JB_Bassin]

They actually do have a Monorail Magicband+! It's only available for resort pre-arrival purchases. I just added it for my upcoming Disney World trip in December.

[@yesitsnikko]

Thanks for the video!

[@jackienaiditch7965]

I have a question for you guys. I'm going to Disneyland for the first time in many years, in January. I'm thinking of getting Genie+. I've been checking it out at home, though, and wondering if I'm missing something. For instance, right now, it's about 1 pm. On the Disneyland app, when I go to the Tip Board for the Indiana Jones ride, the standby line is 50 minutes. And the Genie+ gives a 4:10 pm time to book the ride! Can that be right? Many of the other more popular rides also list booking times hours well into the future. If this is right, then--as a disabled person, I'm wondering if Genie+ is worth it, since I'll probably be getting a DAS pass. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm so confused right now! Thanks! I enjoy your channel.

[@jenoneal6382]

I use the DAS pass and have never had the need for Genie +. It will usually give a return time about ten mins shorter than what is posted. I’ve never had it not give me a return time (unless ride is broken down) and it’s never given me a crazy return time hours from now (unless that’s the actual time that’s posted at the ride). From my experience with the DAS pass alone, it’s more than sufficient to get you on the rides you want to ride. I don’t know what we would do without it.

[@jackienaiditch7965]

@@jenoneal6382 Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate it!

[@blakelylarsen5893]

Awesome I love it

[@chelseynaki1619]

Hi. Does everyone in our party need one or could we just buy for our kids and link to account?

[@natashasaralegui1563]

That breakfast burrito is my favorite. And those French toast. AMAZING. Disneyland has thr best food ever. Haha. Rise is my favorite attraction. I cry everytime at the end. YOU SAW R2. I always miss him. My middle name is Leia.

[@vanessaw17]

I missed out on the magic bands! I was just there last week when I met you guys haha

[@mgibs6519]

Is there any word on if the Bounty Points do anything?

[@KerushiiKELSEY]

i wasnt that interested in getting a band until i saw the little bounty hunter game. thats so fun! oh my gosh whaaat

[@kristenzem]

Love the hair Katie!!

[@jeffstoeger2974]

Kati and Spencer when you scan your band does your photo show up on there scanner to confirm your the ticket holder of the band. Great video.

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

Yes, it does

[@Shonufff88]

I heard scanning still works with a dead battery. Just no lights and vibration?

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

We think you might be right about that. I am pretty sure mine was dead once but I scanned in with it no problem

[@alyssabarandiaran3662]

Do I have buy a magic band when I go to Disneyland I can use das

[@disneyLani]

Katie got the one I want!

[@coshiro1]

On iPhones, you'll want to tap the band where your camera is on the top because thats where the NFC antenna is (for Apple Pay, etc). Idk about other android phones but for Samsung its in the middle of the phone on the back

[@scgajs5]

Loving your new opening

[@alyssaportillo4287]

Awesome video! Are we able to use the MagicBand for tap-to-pay when purchasing merch?

[@Ty-ge4ib]

Not right now. There’s talks from cast members that they’re replacing their computer systems

[@mallorybair1004]

Does it make a difference if you’re an annual pass holder or not? I want to buy a band but I only go about once or twice a year, is it worth it? 😊

[@jonhill7677]

The bounty hunt game looks awesome and fun! Glad you guys included it in this video 👌

[@thebmjdcgroup3910]

Do you recommend everyone in the group/travel party have one of their own?

[@Pumpkin.queen.666]

I don’t think you can attach multiple tickets to one band

[@toy209]

Thanks!

[@matthewkent8089]

I just got to say when I hear your pairing to to apple this is what I see 🍐-🍎

[@neishatorres1823]

WDW also interacts with the park and rides and hidden spots

[@dianeprescott6386]

Do you have to get a new magic band every time you go to Disneyland? What I mean is if I go in February and go in April can I use the same magic band

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

you do not need a new band with every visit. Once you connect your magic band to your account, it will stay there for as long as you decide to keep it linked

[@njtopher]

I connected two bands one to my phone and another to my friend's iphone. It recognized them but I had to move it higher on the back of the phone for it to get recognized. Everything else on the setup was fine. But did anyone else try the gestures that it says after the pairing is done? It says to raise your hand or move in a circle. It does nothing on the two I tried. Anyone else?

[@alexoborne5419]

The Haunted Mansion one looks sick

[@Valeria.Camarillooo]

What do the credits mean?? Do you maybe get rewards or free stuff?? ( don’t know just putting stuff out there😅) by the way love your videos! ❤

[@janetl.5664]

omg had to pause your video because I may not be able to continue, my apologies...I grew up going to Disneyland, it was my home...haven't been since moving east in 2001 but would love nothing more to revisit ...seeing what it entails, whether it be Disneyland or WDW is mind boggling 😭 just so sad

[@boreddadstudios]

FYI for anyone reading, the NFC tag reader for iphones is located on the top of phone, next to the camera lenses...not the middle back or bottom

[@x02dragon]

do you need different accounts for each band?

[@Dr.RickMarshall]

Can’t wait for them to install the pedestals and scan with Mickey.

[@jessicashih6050]

I just ordered mine to someday use at www

[@yeseniadiaz6830]

How do u turn it off after use? So it doesn’t die?

[@Ty-ge4ib]

Small little push button on backside of face that you can press to turn on and off

[@savannahralli6988]

I’m sorry that this is totally off topic… what’s your lipstick brand/ color? It looks absolutely brilliant on you. ❤

[@xurbition]

I thought the fuel rods stop the free swapping and now charges guest $5-10 each for a new battery? 🤔

[@longbikermike]

Great episode. Our daughter gave my wife and I Magic Bands for Christmas. The Bounty Hunter game looks killer. Funny thing though…I watched this video to basically reassure myself that I was turning our bands off correctly between use. I always fully charge both bands before storing them, and when I pull them out to use them again, both have lost power and one (if not both) have slipped into the red zone. Any words of wisdom? Thanks and I will definitely keep my eye out for you at the parks. Enjoy!

[@KARINCLANE]

Thanks for the info! I wasn’t expecting it to be all set up, and working today. It’s Disneyland’s first day! Haha i look forward to seeing the new features as time goes.

[@4youpost]

Where did you buy the hat ? I you share link ?

[@kaitlynflores3397]

I came out in the background 😭🤭

[@matthewcisneros8256]

Can I use my magic band to get discounts on merchandise at Disneyland?

[@jodidownard3]

We are going in December. Are we better off buying them from shop disney or in person on our first day?

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

I would buy beforehand… We will know more on 26 October. If there are going to be any more Disneyland exclusive bands, that will come out… But the only difference would be that the specialty Disneyland magic bands are not available on shop Disney yet

[@Ty-ge4ib]

The bands only get you into the park and for fast pass. You can’t use it for anything else right now. They’ve said they’re going to replace their entire computer system to let the band work for everything. Who knows when this is going to happen though

[@susanmarsh7866]

Got our in August at WDW - used it for 12 hours at Epcot and problems with it loosing charge. Love ours so happy that DL has them now!

[@darkphoenixelemental]

here's a question: I am the one that usually get the tickets and I am the one that has the app on their phone. So....if I was to get a magic band and I have say 3 tickets on my app....do I have the person scan my wrist 3 times? can I get a magic band for each person and attach a ticket to each magic band? how does that work?? I think for a person in my position I don't think the magic band would work....

[@matthewkent8089]

You can buy replacement chargers… now available at any Disney park…

[@RaechelSykes]

You can change the brightness on your Magicband

[@leroycastaneda8341]

It's almost November and it's 97degrees hot out

[@ThisDisneyDad]

I noticed you guys had problems when Pairing the Magic band, you need to tap the band with the top of your phone. Like when you use Apple Pay.

[@leaf4321]

Are you able to buy them even if you are not a magic key holder or cast member?

[@LENNIEOK]

It is available to the public next week

[@justinakiefer8505]

Love the video and want some ideas for videos for my KZbin channel and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are going to Florida for Thanksgiving next month with his mom and maybe go to Disney land want to meet you guys some day

[@noHandle118]

Does your phone and disneyland app have to be on the whole time at disneyland?

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

No it doesn’t once your MB+ is paired on your app

[@drewbender2862]

The band has some interaction when you get off of haunted mansion.

[@tomklock568]

This is a day I thought that would never come nor be needed to be honest. I thought if it would be only applicable for hotel guests. And that's not available? Anyway enjoy!

[@edenfulmer]

How link annual pass on magic band+

[@hyunwoojang7068]

If you wanna make money, do just like Disney. Anyway I bought a this magic band+ 😂

[@yappyspaz]

Just to clarify for myself… your regular magic bands will no longer work, is this correct? Only magic bands + will work.

[@Momster89]

Other than the easy to scan your tickets or pass, you cannot use the Magic Band for discounts or hotel info etc.

[@Disneyoriginal28]

Does the magic band work in the shops and restaurants for the magic key discount?

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

As of right now it didn’t for us, but that feature should come soon we would imagine

[@Disneyoriginal28]

[@selenegonzalez6502]

Not sure if anyone asked but, wasn’t there a $10 discount on top of the Magic key discount? Also the discount doesn’t apply to all Magic bands!???

[@Ty-ge4ib]

You can use your magic key discount on all bands. Even on the Magic Key Band you’ll get an discount on $34.99

[@69guffman]

Hey guys love your blog wondering if you would be willing to buy and post me two of these at all please

[@alanayork7029]

Bounty hunting was a lot of fun, but the Fab 50 hunt at WDW doesn't work very well right away. If you bought band through reservations, it will be on your account but not updated. Each one we manually chose to update would get hung up, but be successful after resetting our phone. Then go into the magicband+ again on app and scroll to settings and you can change the sensitivity. Absolutely no issues after that.
