Very comprehensive video! I have been watching your tips before our 5-day park visit the first week of August. This video would have come in handy. I was anxious to use my Apple watch, but it had glitches, e.g. had to unlock, then scroll to the WDW card in Wallet. iPhone behaved similarly. The 100% foolproof method was the plastic park ticket, got from Guest Relations - since Costco Travel only gives you a ticket confirmation number - which works with the My Experience app. My favorite part of your videos, besides your collection of Ears, is watching you actually enjoying the rides! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your D23 visit!

I highly recommend having an alternate way besides the mobile phone option for your ticket. I frequently have trouble with the Disney mobile app in the parks. One day the mobile app wouldn’t let me sign in at all- kept telling me my credentials were wrong while I tried to use Disney’s WiFi instead of Verizon. That’s not the first time I’ve had trouble, just the strangest & biggest problem. A plastic ticket or Magic band has never given me trouble.

Yasss! Sunscreen or lotion is always our turnstile Gremlin! Thank you so much for the chart for us Disney data dorks. 🤣 I'm so happy they brought back something that is Sorceres of the Magic Kingdom-esque with the new MagicBand+ and the Bounty Hounter game. Hope they expand that because we used to love Soreceres and Phineas and Ferb at Epcot. Also, please tell me about those ears. I was trying to figure them out. They’re giving me an Enchanted Tiki Room vibe and I need them if so!

I’m sad Sorcerers is gone, but Batuu Bounty Hunters is pretty cool. The ears are part of the Mickey the Main Attraction collection and they are celebrating the Tiki Room.

They are 14/16 and had so much fun for hours. I would love to see them add some more fun activities like that, in the other parks. Yes the band did open our boardwalk door as well.. the interactions with the character statues is a little silly but a cute idea. We did stop at each one and waved our arms like crazy. 😂

@@EarScouts We went to WDW in Mar/Apr 2022 and MagicMobile worked great for us! I just can’t justify spending $30-40 x 6 people for MagicBands just for a few bells and whistles. We didn’t stay at a Disney hotel either, which I also don’t think is worth the expense. We were far more comfortable lodging at a larger house with FOUR showers/ bathrooms-much more suitable with teenagers! If it were just me and my spouse, sure, I’d spring for these extras-MagicBand/ MagicBand+ or Disney hotel-but I just don’t think it’s worth it. I will say, however, scanning in with MagicMobile takes longer, but we’re talking only seconds. When timing was critical, like in the morning at rope drop, we just had the kids all scan their individual plastic cards to get through park entrance faster, and then we typically scanned in to redeem LLs with the MagicMobile.

Excellent info, thank you! Going to stick with our regular MagicBands for now (phone battery struggles & probably my kid would lose it)

We have MB's that are about 5 years old and going back in November 2023. I'm hoping they still work. They are still marked as ACTIVE on the My Disney App so fingers crossed their batteries are still good. Not cool that Disney is now charging $ for basic MB's especially since we are staying at a Deluxe resort (Beach Club). If you're paying Deluxe resort prices these things should be complimentary.

I only got a Magic Band Plus because you can’t link a regular Magic Band to the Disneyland app and I enjoy the convenience of a magic band, especially since you can charge purchases to your room via magic band

Going to WDW after the new year. MB+ on the way, but nice to know there are options. We have our MB2.0 from our last trip and older keys. I also have that pass holder slide as well as generic ones.

I haven't been to Disney in a really long time (like, before magic bands time) and for my honeymoon trip with my husband we weighed the options if we should get the plus or not. At first I thought we don't even need bands at all and would be fine just using our cards; however, we plan to purchase memory maker. I think we would have got the new bands if it had some more features. I think it's lacking in some areas. It would be more fun if the statues were animatronics that would move when you waved at them instead of just playing a sound!

@EarScouts Жыл бұрын

That would be awesome. 😄 When we first encountered them in action, I felt like they needed a little something. Maybe a lighting effect or at least better quality sound. In some cases, the sound is very soft and you can’t hear what is being said. 🙁 We do love our Magic Bands, though.

I am Canadian and I just found out that I can NOT order that magic band ahead of time at a reduced cost even though I am staying at a Disney resort. I have to pay full price when I get there. They said it is because they can't ship it to me. So I said I have a US address to ship them to. No go. Then I asked if I could order it ahead of time and have it at the resort waiting for us. Nope, can't do that either. So ONLY people who live in the US can get the reduced priced magic bands in advance when staying a resort. Wasn't impressed with that.

So much useful info, thank you! Just one thing, you said you can't use your mobile to open your resort room door, but I think this is definitly possible?! We are coming to Disney in a few weeks as part of a resort/parks package from the UK, and I have been able to 'check in' early through the app, and it tells me we can go straight to the room and use our mobile to open the room. Maybe this is a new thing! Keep they content coming guys 😁

@EarScouts Жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes - technically the app is supposed to be able to open the door, but not via MagicMobile. You have to open the app and there is a button when you click on your hotel reservation. I should add that it has never worked for me, but most say it worked fine for them. Good luck - and thanks for watching! 😃
