Hi Chelsea!
I am so excited because I just saw today on the
Disney Parks Blog that MagicBand+ is launching on July 27 at Walt Disney World Resort!
MagicBand+ will have so many amazing new features and in-park experiences. I'm particularly excited to try the new Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters feature! The MagicBand+ will allow you to use the app's augmented reality thermal viewer to see who is hiding in the shadows as you move through virtual bounties across Black Spire Outpost.
I also really like the new haptic vibrations and color-changing features! There are 25 different designs, so there is sure to be something for everyone!
You will be able to purchase the new MagicBand+ at several shops in the Walt Disney World parks, Disney Springs, select resort hotels, and online at shopDisney.com. The following locations will sell MagicBand+:
*
Magic Kingdom: Emporium
*
EPCOT: Pin Traders – Camera Center
*
Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Celebrity 5 & 10 and Tatooine Traders
*
Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Discovery Trading Company
*
Disney Springs: Disney’s Pin Traders
Given that your vacation is on July 28, you will get to be among the first to use this new technology! I would wait and purchase the MagicBand+ when I arrived to make sure I had it in time for my vacation. Given the shipping delays I have seen recently, I would be nervous to order online and trust that I would receive it in time.
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
