Q:

How do I charge my MagicBand+, and what does each charging light mean?

A:

Your MagicBand+ comes with a rechargeable battery and 6-inch USB charging cable. In addition, portable phone chargers are available for purchase throughout the Disneyland Resort.

We recommend charging your MagicBand+ once before your visit and nightly during your stay. Also, make sure you have installed the latest version of the MagicBand+ software for optimal usage.

MagicBand+ Battery Status
The battery status can be checked via the Disneyland mobile app if you have paired the MagicBand+ to your mobile device. In addition, pressing the button on the back of the band will result in the MagicBand+ lighting up a color to report the current battery status.

flashing red light—or no flashing light at all—indicates that there is no battery left. You should charge your MagicBand+ at your earliest convenience. When charging, if you don't see the MagicBand+ begin to light up after 20 minutes, reattach the charger and make sure you feel the charger snap into place.

flashing yellow light indicates a low battery. Continue charging your MagicBand+ until green for the most optimal usage duration throughout your day.

flashing green light indicates a high battery. You are good to go!

Note: If your MagicBand+ battery is depleted, you will still have access to certain features such as:

  • Theme park entry (with valid admission and theme park reservation, if applicable)
  • Check-in at virtual queue and Lightning Lane entrances

Certain MagicBand+ functionality and features, such as software updates, customization settings and use with certain Park and Resort interactive experiences may be affected if the MagicBand+ battery is not adequately charged.
