We spent a week in Disney World last month where we used Disney Magic Bands. I thought they were a total blast, they serve as your room key, ride / park passes, then they are lighting up and buzzing all over the park when interactive things are nearby. During fireworks shows they add their own light show based on your proximity to the event.
Sure, they are also tracking our every step throughout the park but this felt like a good thing, like if our 9 year old got lost, his band would totally identify who he's supposed to be with and where we are.

- zzzeek 2y agoPretty sure we can use them for our next trip. They aren't like cheap, we had to buy them for like 30 bucks each or something
- codazoda 2y agoYou keep them for the next trip to Disneyland or a Disney Cruise or share them with friends who are doing the same. I only charge mine about four times a year, so I doubt the batteries will last too long, but I’ve been surprised so far. Note that they have at least two models and they haven’t always interchangeable, so check before you go.
