    My MagicBand+ won't charge, and the button on the back doesn't seem to work either. I have tried the factory reset, but holding the button down doesn't do anything. What else can I try?

    Hi there, Jeffrey, and welcome to planDisney. 

    In the words of Donald Duck, "Aw, phooey!" We need to help you get this issue fixed right away because today is a fantastic day! You are either arriving at The Most Magical Place on Earth, or you are already there! So let's not waste any time—it's time for you to start experiencing the magic!

    If you've already tried resetting your device and that didn't work, we can skip that step. It sounds like you've tried pushing the button with no success. To check if your MagicBand+ is charging, open the My Disney Experience app. On the main screen, scroll down to "MagicBands & Cards" and tap on your name. On the next screen, you will see your bands. Select the one you want to check. Here, you can ensure that your software is up-to-date and verify its charge level.

    Since time is of the essence, if you can't see the problem from your app, I recommend calling the My Disney Experience, MagicBand, and MagicBand+ support number. These knowledgeable, tech-savvy, and wonderful individuals can assist you. Additionally, if you're currently in the park, stop by and see a member of the Guest Experience Team. You can find these fabulous Cast Members at each park, typically stationed under a blue umbrella. I visited Hollywood Studios in March and encountered a minor issue with my MagicBand+, and they were incredibly helpful with advice.

    Jeffrey, enjoy your day today! Stop by Aloha Isle and have a Tropical Serenade for me. I am sending pixie dust, Blue Fairy magic, and waving my magic wand so that your MagicBand+ lights up soon.

    Magical memories,
