Alright, I’ll admit it. I lost my MagicBand+ charger. Look, I have a lot of cords and cables to keep track of, and they all look the same. I’m a writer, not an IT expert. But I had a trip to Disney World planned, and it didn’t hit me until I started packing (the night before I left…don’t judge me) that my MagicBand charger was missing, therefore making my MagicBand+ (basically) useless.

But then I thought to myself, “No biggie! I’ll just buy another charger when I get to Disney World.” Oh boy, was I wrong.

While MagicBands aren’t required for a Disney vacation, they make life a lot easier. It’s easier to get into your hotel room, easier to redeem your Lightning Lanes, and easier to enter the parks with one of these on your wrist. I’ll admit, by the end of the day, I’m ready to rip that thing off my wrist, but still, I can’t deny the convenience.
MagicBands!
The new MagicBands are called MagicBand+ because they have some extra features compared to the older designs. They light up, sync to attractions and fireworks shows, and interact with decorations in the parks. They’re also pretty expensive — we’re talking $35–$70. So, this isn’t really the type of souvenir I need ten variations of; I’m good with just one.

That brings us back to my predicament: the missing MagicBand+ charger. My MagicBand came with a cable when I first bought it, so I assumed the charging cords were also sold separately. WRONG.

I visited TONS of Disney gift shops all over Disney World — hotel gift shops, mega-stores like World of Disney and the Emporium, and even those little stores you hit when you exit a ride. Nada. Not a single MagicBand charger in sight!
Star Wars Resistance Magicband+
Finally, I consulted a Cast Member. Where are all the MagicBand+ chargers? After a bit of stock searching on her iPad, she concluded that Disney no longer sells MagicBand+ chargers separately. WHAT?! Well, you know what that means. Time to go to Amazon. I got myself a new cord and a MultiCharger for MagicBand+ and vowed NOT to lose my new cord EVER AGAIN! Disney does NOT have your back if you come unprepared.
