  • Do you need the new MagicBand Plus on your next trip to Disney World? How about Magic Mobile? What if you plan to use Disney Genie Plus? We're answering all this and a LOT more in this fun-filled adventure through all four parks and a Deluxe Disney World Resort!
    UPDATE: As some people have commented, I should have included that opening your hotel door is technically a feature of the My Disney Experience app (not MagicMobile). That said, I have never successfully opened my door with the app and I actually forgot it was a feature since it has never worked for me. 😂

    Here's another option that is similar but more affordable because it doesn't have such a large battery. It still charges two devices at once including fast-charging via USB-C:

    Note that we make a commission from Amazon if you purchase using the links here:
    DJI OM 5
    This is like a steadicam for your phone. It keeps all your shots smooth and level, even while you are walking. Do not use on fast rides like roller coasters. Also note that this can convert to a selfie stick, but selfie sticks are not allowed in Disney Parks. This item is allowed because it is primarily a gimbal but you are not allowed to extend it.
    amzn.to/3Q56hrb
    RODE VIDEO MICRO
    This little microphone is a great, affordable way to cut down on the noise around you so people can hear your voice. Just be sure to point it at the sound you want and unplug it when you want to hear all the sound around you.
    amzn.to/3TwZxp0
    COLD SHOE MOUNT ADAPTER
    If you want to use the DJI Om 5 and the microphone at the same time, you need one of these.

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  Год назад

      Hello! Yes - you can save them all individually in your Apple Wallet. I don’t have a lot of experience with tickets for kids who don’t have their own accounts, but I do know you can get them each a physical park ticket when they arrive - or buy Magic Bands - and it is a lot easier to manage. Also, the kids enjoy tapping in for themselves. Thanks for watching! 😃

    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 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.

    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.

    We were in Disney a few weeks ago and decided to try the magic band plus. The highlight was my kids had a blast, doing the Bounty Hunter game in Hollywood studios. 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  Год назад

      Good morning. I just checked and I am able to tap on my annual pass on my Apple Watch and it brings up a little button that lets me see card information. If you don’t see that, you might try restarting your devices. If that doesn’t work, try removing the ticket and re-adding it. If you still have no luck, you would need to speak with Guest Relations at Disney. Good luck! 🍀

    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.

    Love your channel and thank you for all your help! I have a question in regards to magic bands, maybe you know the answer. We used our magic bands from 2019 on our trip a couple weeks ago. We didn't get any of our ride photos to show up. After some research I think our batteries may be dead on those bands for the long range sensors. The bands worked for everything else including Genie+. Do you think that's maybe what happened? I'm thinking I may need to buy a magic band+ to make sure our photos show up on the next trip. Luckily, Disney was able to find most of our photos but I don't want to have them search for them for every visit. Thank you!!!

      Hello - yes, it essentially is like charging things to your hotel room and it will appear on the bill at the end.
