Walt Disney World Resort guests have a great new interactive way to experience the parks. The MagicBand+ enhances guest visits and was launched during the 50th-anniversary celebration and adds much more dazzle. The look is similar to an Apple Watch. The first iteration of the MagicBand was launched in 2013 and was praised for being a revolutionary way to make the guest experience more convenient. With the product, guests could utilize it for park and guest room entry, retail and dining*, Disney PhotoPass service and more. The next-generation MagicBand+ allows the same features, plus added functionality to unlock experiential moments of magic throughout the Walt Disney World theme parks and resorts. The MagicBand+ comes alive at various times with color-changing lights, haptic vibrations and gesture recognition, enhancing the environment’s storytelling, allowing for an engaging new way to experience the magic.
With the MagicBand+, guests can journey on the “Disney Fab 50 Quest,” a scavenger hunt throughout the four Walt Disney World theme parks using MagicBand+ to help spread pixie dust and interact with the golden character sculptures. Guests can also use them in a special way during the “Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters” experience by using their MagicBand+ to find numerous virtual bounties hidden throughout Black Spire Outpost, guests will follow the band’s light patterns and haptics to complete their mission.
