Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

 

Not too many people had MagicBand+ at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.  

You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass. 

It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app.

It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night.

Another fun thing about the MagicBand+ is that it'll blink and flash in all sorts of colors depending on where you are, whether at certain rides or shows.  You can also use to link PhotoPass photos and other experiences.

It's totally not a necessary thing to have, but it's a nice-to-have for the convenience.  

One thing I did read prior to getting them is that they have a tendency to fall off your wrist, especially on certain rides.  So, I brought mini rubber bands and hair ties to secure the ends on everyone's wrist just as an extra precaution.  

You can find the MagicBand+ at various shops throughout the resort (we bought ours from World of Disney at Downtown Disney, but also saw them at STOR-E in Pixar Place).
