Up until this last trip, I would have rated the MagicBand much higher. For me, it worked about 99% on the first try when entering the parks. Unfortunately for my husband, it worked once on the first try when entering the parks. We spent 9 days having his band reset, his picture taken, changing the finger he used, and cast members telling him he was pressing to firmly, not firmly enough, move his finger back a little, move his finger forward a little, etc. It was totally frustrating and a little comical by day 9.
Pros:
Great for opening resort doors, paying for food and merchandise.Cons:
When it doesn't work and there is no solution to fix the issue.Reviewed by Janet Review Date: 10/01/2018

convenience on your wrist
Pros:
Not having to worry about taking a bunch of money into the parks. Convenient to have everything tied to band.Cons:
You can spend to much if you are not careful. Also I had a wrist band that didn't want to stay closed, so I lost it temporarily. Had to get a pinable fob for it to go it. (Nobody else in my family had this problem.)Reviewed by San Review Date: 04/24/2019

Magic bands and small children
Pros:
Hopefully Disney will come up with a solution for this because it is a waste of everyone's time.Cons:
I come to Disney world once a month with a different subset of Grandchildren. All the smaller children have a problem every time with the fingerprint scanner. I cannot put my fingerprint on their band, since their parents bring them also. I wish there was a better way to do this with the small children.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/24/2019

To clarify my review I want to start with I made the mistake of purchasing my magic band through the Disney world pass holder site. I made a selection then changed it. At check out the site froze then skipped to a confirmation number but no review of my order. My magic band ended up not being the one that I selected and when I called to ask for a correction they gave me a firm no and goodbye. In 22 years of frequenting Disney this is my first bad experience but it's a big one for me because the convenience is lost due to me having paid for something that j won't use. It sounds incredibly petty but I paid extra and every time I look at it it's a reminder that the company can make billions every year but can't swap a piece of plastic for me.
Pros:
It works.Cons:
It's ugly and the only magic band I did not like in any way and so I hate wearing it.Reviewed by jamie3902 Review Date: 03/15/2020

We used magic bands on both trips. It made rides, photopass, access to ur hotel room on resort, shopping, dining just so much easier.
