#Magic sword band review software
In isolation, it’s not necessarily an issue. The MB+ setup steps are simple enough and intuitive, overnight charging isn’t the worst thing in the world, and everyone reading this probably has experience with software updates. Honestly, this is a big “bad” right off the bat. You will likely need a battery charger (which you absolutely should have if visiting Walt Disney World) and a bit of free time. If you buy a band off the shelf at one of the theme park gift shops and intend upon using it that day, plan accordingly. This is common, and is one big reason to do the pre-arrival purchase–so you can charge your MagicBand+ and updating its software prior to leaving home. The MagicBand+ device we tested was nearly dead upon purchase, and did not have enough battery life to complete the required day one software update. Hopefully, it’s a non-issue for anyone else going forward. That turned out to be a bit of an ordeal due to high demand and limited inventory, but Walt Disney World addressed that problem. We chose this option, ordering our MagicBand+ on the device’s launch day for resort stays a couple of weeks later. Those cost $25 for solid colors and $35 for premium designs, both of which offer a savings of $10 off what you’d pay in stores at Walt Disney World or on. One other bit of background that’s worth mentioning is that Discount Pre-Arrival MagicBand Plus Designs are now available for on-site Walt Disney World resort hotel guests and Annual Passholders. For basic background encompassing everything you need to know about the interactive bands–plus answers to questions you might have–see our FAQ for MagicBand+ at Walt Disney World!
Suffice to say, there’s a lot you can do with MagicBand+ at WDW. There are also MagicBand+ minigames revolving around Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary statues and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Unlike those, when it’s activated, the MagicBand+ has color-changing lights, haptic vibrations, and gesture recognition. Additionally, you can connect your PhotoPass memories, unlock your Walt Disney World Resort hotel room door, charge purchases to your hotel room, and more.
Like the normal MagicBand, the MB+ can scan to enter parks or Lightning Lanes.
