I didn't know you could use an Apple Watch as a Magic Band. Wow, that is awesome.

MagicMobile doesn't require a data connection to work. If you have just your Apple Watch, photos will not automatically link, as that feature requires your smartphone.

Can be used for most functions inside the WDW theme parks. Park entry, room charging, lightning lane entry, etc. Eventually, Disney is supposed to support hotel room entry using the Apple Watch.

Very cool. This is so much better than the Magic Band.Can be used for most functions inside the WDW theme parks. Park entry, room charging, lightning lane entry, etc. Eventually, Disney is supposed to support hotel room entry using the Apple Watch.

Yup! Ever since they rolled out MagicMobile, I have been using my Apple Watch for my pass! It’s really convenient and I don’t need to wear a MB or pull my pass out every time.
Sorry for misunderstanding. This was more of a generic statement for people reading your posts and thought it might be a big deal.
I don’t lnow if people in your situation realize you can buy an adapter or would realize USB A ports are common in resorts.
I have no doubt you're aware of the options. It wasn't directed to you.

My Galaxy S-22 came with a USB-C connection on both ends but no wall outlet piece (Samsung no longer provides the wall connection). I'm just using my previous cord with the USB-C/USB-A cord so I don't have to go buy another outlet. My previous phone was USB-C for phone and USB-A side for the wall outlet. DHs phone is 1 year old Motorola that still came with USB-A on one end. Then DD still has a cheap tablet we download movies on for travel, also USB-A.

I still wear both my Apple Watch and a MagicBand since the watch can't unlock the hotel room door yet.

Samsung S22 came without the wall plug in, just the cords provided . Apparently it's a trend lately.
I guess I'm the only weirdo for having a drawer full of USB-C bricks. I love the Ultra Fast Charging.
Everything I have is C-to-C also, I just have the bricks for them.

Does D-Tech on Demand at Disney Springs still sell Apple Watch straps?
Sorry I'm a bit lost with what you are saying.
The point I was making in the article was that a family of 4 with 8 devices to charge will need 8 USB ports to charge everything at the same time. Exactly how they get those 8 USB ports is up to them. It may be in hotel USB ports, an adapter with multiple ports, or 8 individual bricks.

I believe they do. Some of the gift shops also have pre-packaged Disney themed watch bands.

That makes sense. I hardly ever stay at a Disney owned hotel so I wouldn’t need a MB for my room door.

I've been meaning to mention: I noticed one of my posts was double posted. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?
Edit: This post was almost double-posted. When I clicked on 'post' nothing seemed to happen, so, I was about to click it again, when the forum software updated.
I'm saying I have 8 devices and need zero USB ports.
He was using a MagicBand that they purchased during the accidental release in Disney Springs in May. He apparently started today with a full charge.

I'll add that I far preferred using my Apple Watch and MagicMobile last time I was there, though I did keep a Magicband in my backpack just in case. I would recommend that option if you've got it.
