Hi there, Katelyn! Welcome to
planDisney, where we love helping our fellow Guests plan magical Disney vacations. Thanks so much for bringing us your question!
I actually have really exciting news for you, my friend! The reason why you're coming across a very low MagicBand stock on
shopDisney is that those specific designs are actually being discontinued in order to make way for a MUCH better option:
MagicBand+! With MagicBand+, you will be able to immerse yourself into the magic of the
Walt Disney World Resort in ways that you've never seen before, and I can promise you that you will absolutely love it.
I actually had the chance to try out the new MagicBand+ last week at the 50th Anniversary Media Event, and it totally blew my mind! Your MagicBand+ will light up when you tap the Mickey head turnstiles, it will interact with the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection statues throughout the Resort, and it will guide you through your very own
Star Wars story at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge... plus so much more that I won't spoil for you!
Even though I don't have a specific date to give you for when Disney will release the new MagicBand+ to the public, I can tell you that it's supposed to roll out this Summer. Since you're going to be joining the fun in September, I would highly encourage you to wait and see if they're released before your magical vacation! If not, remember that you can always purchase them directly at the Walt Disney World Resort. Keep checking back on the
Disney Parks Blog for more fun updates!
I hope that my answer has helped clarify things for you, Katelyn, but please don't hesitate to
come back and ask me any other questions you might have about your upcoming Disney vacation.
Stay magical,
Ana Paula
