Does anyone know if the "Glow with the Show" feature of Magic Band+ works during Enchantment, Harmonious or Fantasmic?

Just in case anyone else is wondering, I confirmed that glow with the show on Magic Band + does work at Fantasmic

How can you tell when purchasing a magic band+ if it is a "glow with the show"? Was kind of browsing through some but didn't see anything specific mentioned of the band's "special features"

They’re all the same…
Saw what I hope to be my last look at the kraken last week with a couple of these near by…
It kinda made pal Mickey look revolutionary like the space shuttle

Good to know I don't have to choose something with "fireworks" on it just because I want it to interact during the fireworks!They’re all the same…

Now if I can just be patient and wait to see what comes out closer to our trip in Sept. instead of getting something now!

I still have 2 pairs of Made With Magic/Glow with Show mouse ears and the weird mickey wand..I'm curious if those still work in the parks?

My kids still have the glow with snow ears from years ago too! If they were t so darn heavy ( or ugly, frankly) I might be tempted to wear one to see

The rechargeable ones?

yes, i havent been since the new ones came out. But I have seen quite a few articles that had them only lasting 3 hours when they first came out. Supposedly the batuu bounty hunter game was eating up the battery life as an example. Not sure what websites are not frowned upon, but I found them while searching magicband+ battery life

Hopefully that's been fixed, otherwise are you able to bring a MB2 into the park as well (as a backup) or do you have to use the same band that you tapped in with?

Im hoping someone has experience with it on here. But as far as needing a backup you really shouldnt need one. The hotel key, park entrance, credit card, and I think the photos (someone correct me if I am wrong) will work forever its more like the chip on your credit card.

The MagicBand+ should work for things that you tap, even if the battery dies, I believe.
We used them in August and didn’t have a problem with them dying, but also didn’t spend a ton of time interacting with stuff. We waved at some statues. And played the Star Wars game a little. I don’t remember charging them in the parks, though maybe we did, but they were always low battery by the time we got back to our room so we charged them overnight.

Manual linking of photos will work for virtually forever. Automatic linking of ride photos requires the internal battery to have a charge.

Those were anomalies. The battery life isn't GREAT, but it's a lot better than it was when bloggers were testing them on launch day doing nothing but Batuu Bounty Hunters all day, which isn't exactly the typical use case.
You could bring a backpack full of 10 bands and rotate them interchangeably throughout the day and everything should work just fine.
The band doesn't actually access anything. Your My Disney Experience profile does the "accessing." So any band that points to your profile will give you access to anything your profile should have access to.

Thank you for the info. So a full charge should last me a full day (dont plan on doing the bounty hunter stuff) and just charge at night?
