Disney bands & Cards – Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
Is the battery in my Disney band replaceable?
A:
No, but you do not need to replace the battery in your Disney band because it is equipped with a rechargeable battery and 6-inch USB charging cable with the purchase of the product. A charging cable can also be purchased separately at select retail locations across Walt Disney World Resort. Please note: the non-USB end of the cable is made exclusively for connection with MagicBand+.
Disney Band Battery Life
Depending on an individual’s use of the band, the battery can last an estimated 1 to 3 days. Upon purchase or receipt of your band, it is recommended to charge it to high battery levels (green animation) for the most optimal usage. To conserve your band's battery life, simply turn it off—then easily power it back on when you want to access all its features. Power your band off by pressing and holding the button on the back for 6 seconds, until it buzzes twice. The lights will glow red to indicate the band has powered off.
Even if your Disney band battery is depleted, you can still use it for certain functions such as:
- Park entry (with valid admission and park reservation)
- Redeeming Lightning Lane selections
- Disney Resort hotel room entry
- Charging food and merchandise purchases (to the payment card on file at your Disney Resort hotel room during your stay)
- Disney PhotoPass photographer interactions and certain photo touch points
Certain Disney band functionality and features, such as automatic association of Disney PhotoPass attraction photos to your linked MyDisney account, software updates, customization settings, and use with certain Park and Resort interactive experiences may be affected if the Disney band battery is not adequately charged.
