Animal Kingdom Cast Members Manage MagicBand+
You’ve probably heard that Disney’s new MagicBand+ was released today at Walt Disney World, and it’s been a craze! However, Animal Kingdom Cast Members manage the desired bands much more closely than in Magic Kingdom. Check out the noticeable difference.
Not So Fast…
MickeyBlogger Jared found the coveted MagicBand+ items this afternoon in Discovery Trading Company in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. However, the bands are much more locked down at this location than they were in the Emporium at the Magic Kingdom.
The Emporium was very crowded this morning with Guests trying to obtain their own MagicBand+. In fact, it was very chaotic for everyone trying to shop at the Magic Kingdom’s largest store. MickeyBlog even reported on the crowds.
However, at Discovery Trading Company, Animal Kingdom Cast Members only allow Guests to grab a MagicBand+ if he or she plans on purchasing it. Therefore, it is a much more controlled and enjoyable shopping experience for Guests compared to this morning at the Emporium.
Lesson Learned
In fact, from what Jared gathered, the Magic Kingdom is the only Walt Disney World Park where Guests can openly walk up and purchase their MagicBand+. Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT operate drastically differently.
Hence, the question remains what makes such a difference? Perhaps, it’s a lesson learned and Magic Kingdom Cast Members notified the other parks’ Cast Members of this morning’s frenzy. Or, maybe it all depends on management and leadership.
Either way, you must be a serious MagicBand+ buyer in most areas around Walt Disney World. Also, you may have another question regarding MagicBand+…what about the battery life?
Battery Life
You should charge your new MagicBand+ overnight before you use it in the parks. Therefore, you will be less likely to face battery issues. So, if you head into the parks with a fully charged MagicBand+, then it’s very likely that you will have a great experience!
