We love wearing our MagicBands! Visiting a Disney theme park feels more magical when you can use a MagicBand as your ticket, your Lightning Lane pass, room key, and more. Unfortunately, MagicBands don’t always stay on your wrist, and losing one can turn a day sour in a hurry.
Thankfully, there’s a solution to avoid those mad dashes to lost and found – and this one doesn’t involve hair ties or rubber bands.
MagicBand clips and protectors keep your band safely on your wrist. They’re small and prevent your band from falling off even if the main snap comes unhooked. As an added bonus, these clips come in a variety of colors that we think add a bit more personalization.
We bought these after some of our OG MagicBands kept getting snagged and coming off each time we took off our backpack. Putting one on our band kept it securely in place even if the main snap comes undone. Considering how expensive the MagicBand+ ones are (like $50!), we’re not taking any chances.
MagicBands coming unhooked and falling off has been an issue from the start, but the problem seems worse with the MagicBand+ series of bands. These bands are rechargeable, which makes them heavier, and the clasp doesn’t seem as strong. It’s easy to catch an edge on a backpack or jacket when exiting a ride, sending your beloved MagicBand tumbling into the unknown. It may be long gone before you even realize it.
Honestly, we wish Disney would improve the design of MagicBand+ bands to ensure they stay in place. Until then, it’s well worth the few bucks to buy a protector clip to keep that MagicBand exactly where it belongs. Click here to see the ones we bought!
