These have been a hot item each month. Here are the bands currently available for the upgrade.
Current bands include an adorable new Chef Mickey MagicBand for Epcot Food & Wine 2019, a Genie MagicBand, and even the latest Figment band to hit the shelves. Do note that all of these in this row are currently priced at a discounted $10.00, except for the Food & Wine band.
As noted earlier this month, resort guests and annual passholders will have an opportunity to upgrade their complimentary MagicBands for MagicBands with character designed bands.
This upgrade option will only cost $10.00, well worth the cost of the MagicBands.
Whereas before, resort guests received their complimentary bands in the mail before their Disney vacation, they will now receive their upgraded bands.
One of the more exciting moments for those who have ever planned a Disney vacation and planned to stay at a Disney resort is receiving your complimentary Magic Bands in the mail before you even leave on your vacation.
These complimentary bands had 8 color choices. When the Magic Bands first began, my family and I bought character bands that featured our favorite Disney characters. We have used these now for the last several times that we have vacationed with the exception of buying a new one for our daughter who grew out of her kid sized band.
The Magic Band, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, effortlessly links the Walt Disney World Resort vacation choices and plans guests make in the My Disney Experience app – from entering the parks to redeeming FastPass+ selections, using dining plan credits, linking Disney PhotoPass photos and more.
Now, after 5 years of collecting new complimentary bands with each trip, Disney has announced that they will give resort guests and annual passholders another option.
Guests will have the option to upgrade, at a discounted price, from a complimentary solid-color MagicBand to one of more than 30 new MagicBand options featuring favorite Disney characters and designs.
These new MagicBand options will be available for pre-arrival purchase at a special price of $14.99 off retail cost through the My Disney Experience website.
A colorful selection of complimentary MagicBands is still available for guests who choose not to upgrade to one of the new options, and these new design options can also be shipped to guests’ homes (U.S. addresses only) if ordered 11 or more days ahead of arrival and can be personalized if done so at least 6 or more days ahead of arrival.
