Magic Bands

Just added to my "final instructions"

Prior to cremation, put a Magic Band on me in case there's a Disney section where ever I am headed.

sounds good to me!

Forget cremation i am opting for the cryogenically frozen option on mine

This might be a silly question, but what does everyone do with their MBs when they go to the pool?

Thanks MrHub! I guess I didn't realize you can actually submerge them.

This morning our magic bands arrived. I feel like I finally got invited to the "big dance!"

Did everyone else get sliders with theirs? I haven't read anywhere that sliders come with the bands.
I can't wait to add my Nightmare before Christmas magic bandits and wear my band for our next visit!

I just read today about the sliders. I have the option to get a magic band as an AP holder. I probably won't get it. I already have two and will get two more for my October split stay trip.

But I read on another site that you can buy accessories now including sleeves to change the color. Of course Disney will find a way to entice us to pay more. I am just going to put my own slider on and a Disney charm. It will be unique to me!

So excited for you Annie! I would expect it will help with prebooking your FP+ selections.

Yay, Annie! I've heard that those sliders fall off really easily (don't know how accurate that is, just what I've heard on a couple of podcasts) so we're planning on painting ours. DH came up with some really cute designs to make them look like Disney characters!

Does everybody get magic bands now? or is it still in testing?

Everyone staying onsite gets a magic band and I believe they're rolling out for other groups as well. I know Annie just got hers and she has an AP but doesn't stay onsite.

We were asked if we wanted to use them or not and our trip is in Sept, so I believe there is an option if you choose.

Mark? Do you know anymore?

Clear as mud! All I know is mine is PINK and my FP date is July 18th and now that I booked our trip this time with our TA and had to ask our friends their full names, birthdates, and anniversary (I just wanted to know that one for a surprise 45th when we get there), I am happy just being happy!

Now if I can find a slider for the bracelet that doesn't cost a fortune.......

can you buy accessories online? I can't find them at the Disney Store online and I don't really like buying from 2nd party sites...

Wow!!! Very cool MrHub!

Right now you have to be staying at a Disney Resort or an AP holder to get a magicband but it is coming soon to everyone else for an additional cost.

Yeah, I read I believe yesterday they became available for "Day Guests" and are $12.99 I believe. You cannot pay with anything like resort guests can, but they are now available to anyone visiting the parks. We stay on Disney property (Downtown Disney area) but not a Disney Resort so this works out for us. Though we are Fla. resident annual passholders which we got them anyway.

Still, Disney knowing there was money there I'm sure fueled them being available to all guests.

They are pushing them big time this week! Standing out on the sidewalk with all the colors. I ready have 3 different colors.....for "free."

Mr Hub that is funny!

Have swum wearing mine it was fine.

The sliders don't fall off but the pop on clippy things can do. And the glow in the dark ones from last year are still glowing happily by the bed!

We will have 4 each by the time we have finished the year, 3 resort ones and the AP one! Although it is nice to have the colour choice to match up to accessories it would be better to only have the one as It is a bit of a waste of resources.

Cute commercial!
