How to Tell if Magic Band Battery Still Works
Have you ever been in the middle of your Disney World vacation when your Magic Band suddenly stops working? It can be a frustrating experience, especially if you’re not sure how to tell if the battery is still good. Here are some simple steps you can follow to check the battery on your Magic Band:
1. Look at the battery indicator light. When you press the button on the back of your Magic Band, a small light will illuminate. If the light is green, your battery is full. If the light is yellow, your battery is low. If the light is red, your battery is dead.
2. Try using your Magic Band at a touch point. If your Magic Band is not working, try using it at a touch point, such as the entrance to a ride or a restaurant. If the touch point does not recognize your Magic Band, it is likely that the battery is dead.
3. Check the My Disney Experience app. If you have the My Disney Experience app installed on your smartphone, you can check the battery level of your Magic Band by opening the app and selecting “MagicBands and Cards.” Your battery level will be displayed next to your Magic Band’s name.
4. Take your Magic Band to a Cast Member. If you are still not sure if your Magic Band’s battery is still good, you can take it to a Cast Member at any Disney World location. They will be able to test your battery and replace it if necessary.
