    A few days ago I was looking at which MagicBand to buy with the resort stay discount. There were many original MagicBands. Two days later there is only the plain white original. The other 38 choices are MagicBand+. What's going on?

    Hi Ronald!
    Welcome to planDisney.

    As you know, guests from the United States staying at a Disney Resort hotel can pre-order their MagicBands from a wide selection on My Disney Experience, and have them delivered to your home address, or have them delivered to your Disney Resort hotel before your arrival.  I'm sorry all the MagicBand 2 designs have disappeared from view - from my experience, the availability changes all the time, and various designs are frequently re-stocked. I can only advise you to keep checking - every day if necessary - and ensure you are ready to place your order for every member of your group as you can't add to your order at a later date.

    I enjoy using my MagicBand as it keeps everything simple and all in one place!   I prefer to use my phone as little as possible so that I completely stay in the moment of my holiday.   As a bonus, MagicBands are also completely waterproof so if you are swimming or visiting a water park you have everything handy on your wrist, and you can store your valuables and phone safely away in a rented locker.

    If you don't find your preferred design before your vacation, you can buy MagicBands at many stores all over Walt Disney World Resort.  MagicBand 2 is still available to purchase but you may have to search a little.  

    Disney Resort hotel gift shops stock a smaller selection - but if you want to buy your MagicBand on your arrival day check your hotel's shop because this is where I found my perfect MagicBand 2 last year!  Take them to your Front Desk where the Cast Members will link them to your account and set them up for you.

    For wider selections, I recommend the Emporium on Main Street USA at Magic Kingdom Park, Creations Shop at EPCOT, and at Disney Springs - World of Disney or D-Tech on Demand at Marketplace Co-Op. 

    ShopDisney.com also sometimes has the older version on sale so keep checking there because they frequently update their stock.

    Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can send me a direct question if you wish.  We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation!
