We want you to get the most out of your ‘luxury villa’ stay in Solterra, Davenport (near Championsgate and just south of the Disney World Resort area). To help out, we have sourced the following blog post to keep you up to date with news from Walt Disney World Resort. Thanks to the guys over at Blog Mickey for the original post...
The MagicBand+ is finally being sold at Disney World, but the rollout today is not without issues. The most notable issue that guests are experiencing is little to no charge on the MagicBand+ when they purchase it. Managers that we spoke with said that they aim to deliver the MagicBand+ with at least 50% charge, but even then that isn’t enough charge for guests to begin using the MagicBand+ as intended.
As you can see below, the MagicBand+ requires at least a 60% charge to update, and there is a day one update that guests are told to install before using the MagicBand+. One of our bands had very little charge when we purchased it, although an exact charge percentage wasn’t displayed. When we were pairing the MagicBand+ we were told that there was an update available, but that the band did not have enough charge to complete the update.
This likely won’t be limited to a “day one” issue depending on how long MagicBand+ stock sits on the shelves and how long the idle battery is good for. Disney said that guests can expect 1-3 days of use on a single charge, but only Disney knows how long a MagicBand+ can sit on a shelf without being charged. Our advice would be to expect to charge your MagicBand+ before using it if purchasing at the theme parks.
