Bing BongTip Of The Week

If your children like to sleep with stuffed animals, be sure to remember to take them out of the bed each morning so that they don’t accidentally get carried away with the sheets and blankets when housekeeping makes up your room.

Spaceship EarthDisney Did You Know

Spaceship Earth, the visual and thematic centerpiece of Epcot, weighs 16 million pounds — more than three times that of a space shuttle fully fueled and ready for launch. The outer “skin” of Spaceship Earth is made up of 11,324 aluminum and plastic-alloy triangles. Also, did you know that rainwater never falls off the sphere? It’s channeled into the ball and funneled away.

Tip Of The Week

Extra Magic HoursDisney offers a perk called Extra Magic Hours which allows resort hotel guests early or late access to a theme park on select days. While this sounds like an outstanding idea, the morning Extra Magic Hours only work to your advantage if you can be there early enough to enjoy that extra hour before the park opens. If you can’t be there early, then you’ll want to avoid that theme park for the day, because the morning Extra Magic Hours make that park much more crowded. If you do use the morning Extra Magic Hours, consider “park hopping” to another theme park around 11:00am.

The Review

Have you heard of this incredible gadget – Bitbelt? Recently, Trey from Bitbelt contacted me and asked if I would like to review this MagicBand accessory. Of course, I was thrilled. If you aren’t familiar with Bitbelt, this handy creation secures your MagicBand so that it doesn’t accidentally become unclasped. Anyone that carries a child, a backpack, or wears a jacket at Disney World knows how easily a MagicBand can become unclasped. That’s where this little beauty comes in! Simply place a Bitbelt on your MagicBand and save yourself the trouble of having to search for a lost band or take the time to get a replacement.

BitbeltI was amazed at how quickly the Bitbelt arrived. They typically ship via USPS First Class Mail. For an additional fee you can upgrade to Priority Mail with tracking. And for our out of country friends, you can even have a Bitbelt shipped to you internationally for just $3. If you are thinking of surprising someone with a Bitbelt for an upcoming Disney World vacation, mine arrived in a simple brown envelope that didn’t reveal the contents of the package.

I quickly tore into the package like a kid on Christmas morning eager to check out my new Disney vacation gadget. The first thing that struck me was the high quality of the material used to construct the Bitbelt. It felt heavy-duty and like it could stand up to an action packed Disney World vacation. Next up was getting it on my MagicBand.

The process was super simple. The Bitbelt slid right on my MagicBand in a matter of seconds!

I continued to wear my MagicBand with the Bitbelt throughout the day. This incredibly useful accessory kept my MagicBand right in place as I carried groceries, my purse, my kids’ backpacks, and as I took my jacket off and on several times. Necessity is truly the mother of invention and after having my MagicBand fall off several times before the Bitbelt, I am wondering why I never thought of it.
Bitbelt creators – you are geniuses!

Here’s all of the important information that you’ll need to get yourself a Bitbelt:

  • Bitbelts are available for purchase on Bitbelt.com.
  • They are $4.99 each.
  • They offer special pricing when you purchase multiple Bitbelts in one order. Buy two and save $2 ($1 off each) by using Coupon Code 2SAVE2. Buy five and save $10 ($2 off each) by using Coupon Code 5SAVE10. Buy ten and save $30 ($3 off each) by using Coupon Code 10SAVE30.
  • They come in adult and junior sizes.
  • The adult sizes comes in twelve colors: black, blue/grey, pink, fluorescent orange, royal blue, camo, purple with gold glitter, red, yellow, lime green (glow in the dark), ice blue (glow in the dark), and clear (glow in the dark).
  • The junior sizes come in fourteen colors: blue/grey, Caribbean green, survivor pink, lime green, neon carrot, purple, black, hot magenta, blue, red, powder blue, electric blue, yellow, and clear (glow in the dark).
  • If you think Bitbelts are great for MagicBands, they are also available for your fitness trackers. Never lose a pricey Fitbit again!
