It’s no secret that MagicBands have become an integral part of a Disney World vacation over the last decade+. They can serve as room keys, payment methods, entry tickets, be used to check-in for Lightning Lanes, connect with PhotoPass, and react to select Disney theme park attractions with “lighting effects and gesture recognition”, and they’re available in a slew of cool designs!

However, there can be some negative side effects to wearing them if you’re not careful!

So, while MagicBands are generally pretty comfortable in our experience, their rubber-like material can get a bit irritating to wear around your wrist all day, especially during the sweaty summer season. A nice way around that is to wear your band a bit looser than skintight, that way there’s more breathing room.
Tapping our MagicBand+!
Of course, wearing your MagicBand a bit looser runs a risk of it potentially falling off in the park – or even worse, on a ride! Now, there is a chance that Disney may be able to track your MagicBand, which is going to take a big chunk of time out of your day, and if it can’t be found, you’ll likely need to pay for a replacement. However, there is a way to avoid losing them altogether: These silicone locks will keep your MagicBand+ affixed properly even if you wear them loose.

Even if your MagicBand isn’t going anywhere, it can still be a bit annoying to have to rearrange your own personal jewelry, fitness tracker, or smart device like an Apple Watch. However, you can use this watch adapter to attach your MagicBand’s RFID puck to your Apple Watch band, wearing both on the same wrist comfortably.

One of the many potential uses of your MagicBand is essentially as a debit card. However, for some guests, simply tapping their band for purchase after purchase can lead to them blowing past their budget without even realizing it. Unfortunately, there’s no easy hack to avoid this other than simply paying attention to how often your tapping your band for snacks and souvenirs.
