Hello Emily!
I am very excited like you are about the upcoming release of
MagicBand+ in Walt Disney World! The new MagicBand+ will do everything that a
MagicBand does and more! Some of the exciting new features of the MagicBand+ include customizable color-changing lights, haptic vibrations that will bring experiences to life, and gesture recognition. Knowing Disney, I think there will be other magical surprises with the new MagicBand+! Once MagicBand+is announced, it should be on sale online or in the Walt Disney World theme parks and stores at the Walt Disney World Resort.
The specific launch date for MagicBand+ has not been announced yet. What has been
reported so far is that it will come out this summer (2022), and typically the Memorial Day Holiday is the kick-off of the Summer Season in Walt Disney World, according to my experience. I would keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for any announcements on the roll-out of MagicBand+. I will be in line with you to purchase the new MagicBand+ as soon as it becomes available!
I hope that your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation is incredible!
