Disney4me Posted Thursday at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:00 PM MagicBands are great…but they could be better. MagicBand+ MagicBand+ is an interactive accessory that makes visiting Disneyland, Disney World, and the Disney Cruise Line a little easier and more exciting. These bands let you link admission, access your hotel room, make purchases, check in for Lightning Lanes and virtual queues, connect to your PhotoPass photos, and become part of the Disney experience as they light up, vibrate, and enhance the world around you. Still, there could be a few features that would surely enhance this accessory. A More Interactive Interface MagicBand+ can interact with park elements and even lights up during shows, but it’s limited when it comes to any sort of watch face interface.’ MagicBand+ A cool thing about the MagicBand+ is that there are so many variations based on different themes, Disney IP, and more. That makes collecting them worthwhile. However, it’s possible that those themes could still stay unique while having some sort of digital interface — not unlike a digital watch. ©Disney It would be cool to see your favorite characters move around on the MagicBand+, or if you could see the time, or to be able to personalize the band even more than you already can. ©Disney While interface interactivity has not been a feature of the MagicBand in any iteration, its evolution to include more and more interactive elements gives some hope that we could see something like this in the future. The Ability To Easily Unlink A MagicBand+ When you set up your MagicBand, you will link it to your account and then assign it to the admission you’d like. However, unlinking a MagicBand isn’t as simple… MagicBand+ Neither MagicBand nor MagicBand+ can be unlinked once it’s been assigned to an account, so if you made a mistake or want to move a band from one account to another, you’ll need to contact Disney directly for assistance. MagicBand+ We understand the importance of linking a band to an account and making sure it sticks — there’s a lot of sensitive information attached to these bad boys. But still, it would be nice to have the option to be able to unlink an account without having to go through all the bells and whistles. More Uses MagicBands are exclusive to Disney World, and MagicBand+ can only be used at Disney World, the Disneyland Resort, and aboard the Disney Cruise Line. If you want some use at home or at the Disney Parks overseas, you’re out of luck. Tron Lightcycle / Run MagicBand+ It would be great if there were more incentives to buy MagicBands. At Disneyland, they’re still a fairly new arrival, and it’s great that you can now use MagicBand+ on both coasts. But it would be nice if we could use them at EVERY Disney Park. MagicBand+ It would also be great if MagicBands had some sort of interactivity OUTSIDE of the Disney Parks. Maybe you can turn on an option so they line up with a Disney parade or nighttime spectacular, displaying different lights. Just something to let us take home some of that famous Disney magic.
