Hi, Sharon! Thanks for coming back to the Disney Parks Moms Pane!
I am so excited about the
MagicBand2 and all of the versatility it offers such as wearing
MagicKeepers on a lanyard instead of on a wrist. As for the official word on WHEN they will start to be sent out, the answer is “soon”. I know that other Guests with January arrivals received the original
MagicBand, but I have my fingers crossed for you! If you receive the original MagicBand, there are actually more options of designs and character choices at this time! You can purchase these specially designed MagicBands at the four
Walt Disney World Theme Parks and
Disney Springs, as well as at your
Disney Resort Hotel! I also like to jazz-up my MagicBands with
MagicBandits! Don’t worry, these aren’t people who will steal your Disney merchandise, but rather small character decorations that fit into the MagicBands. Each visit, my girls get to choose one new set! I hope this adequately answered your question and we look forward to seeing you again!
Have a magical day,
Jen
