Thank you! I just bought a Black Panther Magic Band+ today at Magic Kingdom. One thing that some people may not know is that they will still work for entry or Lightning Lane if they are not charged. They still have a radio frequency chip like you said. This is an excellent informative video!

[@GetOffTheLawn]

This information is very helpful. I was worried the magic band would run out of battery and not be able to get into lightning lanes.

[@georgethecat771]

Thanks for the video. 😊 I was so excited when I saw your Disneyland shirt because I thought they finally added opening up your hotel room and linking the Magic Band Plus to an Apple Watch, but they haven’t added those features yet. It’s a bummer. I know they are working on it, but they are not active yet. 😞

[@danielleduet]

This was really informative! We just went to Disney World this summer and used our regular MagicBand. But the MagicBand+ sounds like another great option! I like that you can use it at Disneyland too. Thanks for sharing, Miranda! 💖

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

Thanks, Danielle! Next time you should try the MagicBand+! I can't wait to use mine this weekend!

[@garypyle8286]

Going to Disney for the first time. If 2 adults are going do both parties need a magic band plus or can you use one for both of you. 2nd question if i may, does it charge the card that is associated with your my Disney experience app or how do you change the card you want it to charge for things?

[@Caligirlgrownhyna80]

So informative!! Can you use it with DSA also?

[@cherylcorbin5128]

Thank you for explaining that! I talked with two Disney online chat things trying to figure out why I needed the magic band plus if I have the magic mobile, they really do not explain what extras you get that the magic mobile on your watch does versus doesn’t do.

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

If you’re staying on property, you can use it to unlock your resort hotel room and charge items back to your hotel room. MagicMobile does all of it except the payment back to the room. So basically it’s a convenient way for people to not have their phone out all the time

We just booked Orlando for our Honeymoon in April 2025 💍🛩🎊 We plan to visit Disney World over the 3 week stay as much as possible, traveling from Ireland and are staying off property but I think for us it would make more sense to purchase the Magic Band Plus for the parks when we purchase our tickets. So we are at the planning stage and I loved your video, thank you for that information makes it easier to decide 💐

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

Congrats! That will be so fun! I stay off property often and still love wearing my MagicBand+ because of the fun interactive features! It’s also nice to not have my phone out ALL of the time!

[@Splashofpixie]

Hi, you should do a updated office tour and home tour! I love seeing Disney Inspired homes.

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

I am planning to do an updated office tour! My office is the only place where I have Disney decor 🩷

[@user-kn2wz9wj6g]

Hi, thanks for the video very informative. Just wanted to clarify, if you are not staying at a Disney resort the Magic Band + won’t work to attach a debit/credit card to it?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

That is correct!!

[@viviancutler3918]

Where did you get the Key Chain one? So Cool!!! Your Video Is Great!!! I Love it!!!! ♥♥♥ How can you charge it? Is that keychain one for the Magic Band Plus or Magic Band 2? are they both the same size?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

I got it from the parks manyyyy years ago! I know people make similar ones on Etsy! These are for the old magic bands so don’t need charged

[@viviancutler3918]

@@TheMagicalMiranda Yes!!! I Figured it was an old Model I found it on Walmart site. Shocking Walmart. I Love it is so Cute...But that did lead me to Etsy and I found a Cool One that is Colorful and looks lik a Donut!!! I am so Happy and Excited about Your Video and Where it led me!!! I can't wait to get my Magic Band Plus one!!! Thank You So Much!!! Tons of Hugs to You!!!! Have a Wonderful Day!!!! Great Video!!!!

[@nativegirl105]

Does every band automatically link to your debit card when you get them with your resort stay discounted price? Or can it just be the adults linked to payments?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

You can set up charging privileges for kids’ MagicBands during check-in (online or in person)!

[@ezequielambrosio9668]

I have a question? So mine just came in today because I ordered it on Disney shop and I was wondering if my park ticket is automatically linked to my magic band+? Its an after hour event and the ticket is on my Disney experience app.

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

You have to manually enter it on your My Disney Experience!

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

There’s a code on the back of the MagicBand

[@claudiamartinez6107]

I am not staying in resort, but I’m I still able to use to purchase food or drinks and merchandise?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

No you can’t! That’s only a benefit for those staying on property

[@kkeane382]

Love the bedazzled band! I am working out the kinks for MagicBand Plus for Disneyland. It looks like you can’t attach your parking pass…. Only one pass at time it says. Real world problems. Lol

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

OHHHH I wouldn’t have even thought about the parking pass being added!

[@alexisrivas307]

Can I use the same magiband / magicbabd+ at both Disney Land and Disney World. I live in California so Disney Land is more accessible.

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

Yes! The MagicBand+ is now at Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line so you can use them at those locations too

[@vanessae-k4353]

I have a 5 year old regular magic band. Is it likely to still work? It does show up on my account.

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

It most likely will! I have one that is older than that that I still use!

[@stephanieryan7876]

Where can I find the beaded colorful magic band +?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

I made it :)

[@ssd1453]

Where do you buy this from?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

It's a Disney MagicBand that I customized myself.

[@melindagibson8606]

Hi great video thanks! Do you know if I can take the middle out of the plus and use the regular muppet band with it? I really want the muppet back but its not a +! Thank you!

[@erinconrad1685]

The center parts are different sizes between Magic Band and +, so they're not interchangeable. You can buy a Muppet magic band + though, I'm sure!!

[@andy04220s]

Do you need one if you have a VIP tour?

[@TheMagicalMiranda]

You don’t ever need a magicband but they’re helpful to enter the parks and get into your room!

[@dayoldbread1696]

@@TheMagicalMirandado the limited edition ones make special sounds when tapped like the old magic bands do?

[@viviancutler3918]

Magic Band Plus keeps falling off my wrist and I Lose it...Such a Bummer!!! Help!!!!

[@gymnastgirlflips]

What my family does is we use small rubber bands (like for hair) and use those over where the band overlaps. I believe you can also purchase other things to hold it together, but that's the cheapest.

[@viviancutler3918]

@@gymnastgirlflips Thank You So Much!!!

[@gymnastgirlflips]

@@viviancutler3918 Just make sure to bring a few extras with you in case they break! Plus the little rubber bands also came in handy when I went to Rafiki's Planet Watch and did the Animation Experience. You get to take your drawing with you and I had an extra rubber band, so I rolled it up all nicely and carried it around the rest of the day.

[@MrAeroBond]

Don’t treat grey like that, I got a Spider-Man one but grey was my next option lol

[@ThamirisTravassos]

I get that things need to evolve and be updated, but it bothers me a little that no one shows any concern about the amount of waste of plastic or some kind of recycling of the old bands... I mean, I would definitely consider buying the MB plus if they offered some kind of compensation for the old one

[@brianroberge4226]

I'm sure it helps they are reusable for multiple variations.

[@manoelasilva9642]

Hello! I have one MagicBand for each outfit! 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 but I don’t have the MagicBand + yet… Please tell us that you are going to do a ‘pack with me’ video, please!!! I love your videos!! I’m also going to Disney on September 1st and I just watched all yours ‘pack with me’ videos! Thanks and Have a nice day!

[@TheMagicalMiranda]
