I checked mine and I also have some marked as "Void". The ones that are I had previously made "Inactive" as I don't use those particular bands any longer. If you want/need to use yours that show as "Void", you would need to call Disney to see what's going on with them.
I don't see a need to update if you don't care any any of the interactive features. I've loaded any updates for my MB+ without issue. The only posts I've seen for not being able to update a MB+ seems to be with Android phones. Not sure if it's a MDE issue or an issue with the particular model of phone or version of the Android operating system.My MagicBand+ is indicating (thru MDE) there is an update available - I thought I'd seen somewhere Not to do the update, but maybe that was old info. Does anyone know if we should do the current update or is there some downside? We just use to tap in - could care less about the statues and light functions
We have Android phones - maybe that’s why someone said not to update our MB+ bands… hopefully, someone who has updated recently will share their experience. Again, this is updating the Band, not the App.
Yes, i quoted myself. lolI just ordered ahead on the app for $34.99 (Oswald), so that should be good to go. I may have to pick up another if the designs are so many I just have to have another.
Correct, not needed unless you want to coordinate with different clothing, etc. The other resorts are offering them because the system doesn’t tell them you already have one, and hey, they might sell another!
To me, no, you won’t miss out on anything by not having a MB+. DH has one, I don’t, and getting the statues to “do something” last January was fun but nothing we’d have felt bad about missing. The only issue with MB2 is you can’t charge them, so eventually they stop linking ride photos to your MDE account, but that won’t be an issue until several years from now - and there are alternatives like MDE being able to use Bluetooth on your phone.
I appreciate it! Linking with Bluetooth is something new to me that I learned thanks to this thread! We have MB2 from our trip in Jan 2020 and we were unsure about if there battery power would still be good after 4 years. We would buy new ones for our upcoming trip, and it is much easier to swallow the price of plain colored MB2!
What does your order history say?Has anyone had an issue ordering the discounted Magic Bands on MDE? I ordered 2 for myself 19 days out from our trip but I never got charged and never received a confirmation. Photos of the bands I ordered are showing right below my avatar for each reservation on MDE when I go into My Magic Bands and Cards but that's it.
Thanks. No recent orders showing.
I knew I probably couldn't cancel but I just wanted to change to pickup at the resort but I wasn't able to. No problem though if USPS is the final method of delivery. I just checked and it states the band is on its way for delivery between 12/18-12/20. The USPS hold starts on 12/19 so I'd be very surprised if I received it before then.
Post 1 is current information but, photos are never guaranteed. Many guests do not receive their ride photos, even with a new MB+, bluetooth on, MDE app open, etc. At best it's hit or miss unfortunately.
