food IS a theme park
Disney, you’ve been holding out on us.
MagicBand+ is a bit different than we thought …
It’s been a while since MagicBand+ first premiered at Disney World, and somehow we are still discovering new things about them!
If you’re in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the holidays, you’ll want to check out some festive treats, gorgeous decorations, and the adorable Merry Menagerie on Discovery Island.

But there are more even updates to find in Animal Kingdom right now. Come with us to check out what’s NEW in this park since our last visit! [Read more…]
MagicBand+ debuted in Disney World earlier this year, and we were stoked to check out all the features of this new wearable tech.
MagicBand+ in Disney World
But, many Disneyland fans were wondering if MagicBand+ would be coming to the west coast anytime soon, and then Disney announced that yes — MagicBand+ would be debuting in the parks “this fall.” And now, we know just when that day will be! MagicBand+ is being released at Disneyland Resort SOON and we’re sharing everything you need to know!
MagicBands have been a part of life in Disney World since 2013, but they recently received a major glow-up in the form of the MagicBand+.

The original MagicBand and the new MagicBand+ operate similarly, letting Disney World guests use them to gain entry to the parks, enter Lightning Lanes, pay for merchandise, and more, and MagicBand+ even offers some fun interactive features. Over on the West Coast, Disneyland has never had any form of the MagicBand, but we found out that the new MagicBand+ would be coming there this year, too! And now, we finally have an idea of when MagicBand+ will be available at Disneyland Resort.
Disney recently released their new version of MagicBand called MagicBand+ and there are a lot of fun and unique designs!
New MagicBand+
MagicBand+ is available online and in Disney World right now, and they should be coming to Disneyland sometime this year. They have a bunch of new features like interacting with shows, rides, and statues. And, a bunch of NEW MagicBand+ designs were just released online!
We’ll admit that we’ve been having a lot of fun with the MagicBand+.
We’re loving MagicBand+
Although we got our hands on it a little early thanks to an accidental release, we didn’t really get a chance to try it out until its official release date. Since then, we’ve been waving our arms at the 50th anniversary statues and collecting bounties in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We’ve also loved so many of the designs, too — and today, we found EVEN MORE!
Yes, the 2022 D23 Expo was packed with exciting projects…but quite a few anticipated announcements were missing.
D23 Expo
We were excited to learn about new projects, like the retheming of Pacific Wharf in Disney California Adventure, the addition of Tiana’s Palace in Disneyland, and the possible new lands coming to Magic Kingdom. And we were pleased to hear updates on existing projects, like the reimagination of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland and TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom. But there were a lot of existing and previously announced projects that were not mentioned during the event’s announcements — check them out.
Halloween is continuing to creep into the parks…and we couldn’t be happier about it!
Mickey Pumpkins
We’ve been trick-or-treating at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, digging into spooky snacks, taking in the Halloween décor, and shopping for all kinds of new merchandise. And, speaking of shopping, we just spotted a new Halloween item that’s joined the mix…and it’s frighteningly cute.
You may think you know all of the MagicBand+ features, but do you reeeeaaaaally?
MagicBand+
Yeah, yeah, we know about the interactions with the 50th Anniversary character statues and bounty hunting over at Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But, did you know that your MagicBand+ can even interact with attractions?! YEP, they can do that — here’s what attractions you can interact with!
We spotted some MagicBand+ designs that are perfect for Disney parks superfans!
MagicBand+
Earlier this year, Disney’s MagicBand+ was officially launched in the parks. The new MagicBand+ technology includes several additional features for guests to explore, including interactions with the 50th-anniversary character statues, a new interactive game in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and synchronized lighting with the nighttime spectaculars. We’ve seen a TON of MagicBand+ designs hit the shelves, and today we spotted two options that are calling your name if you’re a Disney parks mega fan!
