Three Disney World MagicBand Rules You Should Break

By 1 Comment

Once you’ve visited Disney World a few times (or a lot of times), you start to develop a few personal “rules.” Some are all about strategy (because rope drop is basically a must for some), some revolve around food (we’re looking at you, DOLE Whip), and others are tied to Disney’s technology, like MagicBands making park days smoother and more convenient.

Every MagicBand Owner Needs This $10 Amazon Backup Before Their Next Disney Trip

By Leave a Comment

There are certain things you expect to charge before a Disney trip: your phone, your portable charger, your smartwatch, your emotional battery, and your patience for people who stop in the middle of Main Street to reorganize their stroller like it’s a NASA launch. But then there’s your MagicBand+.

MagicBand+

Yes, the same magical little wrist accessory that unlocks your hotel room, lights up during fireworks, interacts with park features, and generally makes you feel like you’ve been issued a tiny piece of Disney wizard technology. Wonderful? Yes. Convenient? Absolutely. One more thing that can die halfway through a 12-hour park day? Tragically, also yes.

That’s where this MultiCharger for MagicBand+ comes in.

I Lost My MagicBand Charger, and I was Shocked When Disney World Cast Members Told Me THIS

By 15 Comments

Alright, I’ll admit it. I lost my MagicBand+ charger. Look, I have a lot of cords and cables to keep track of, and they all look the same. I’m a writer, not an IT expert. But I had a trip to Disney World planned, and it didn’t hit me until I started packing (the night before I left…don’t judge me) that my MagicBand charger was missing, therefore making my MagicBand+ (basically) useless.

But then I thought to myself, “No biggie! I’ll just buy another charger when I get to Disney World.” Oh boy, was I wrong.
