Bright Suns Mark, and thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. It sounds like you have an out-of-this-world holiday coming up this summer! So, let’s talk about securing that special
MagicBand (officially called Disney Bands outside of the U.S.) for the occasion.
The graphics on the
Empire Strikes Back 45th Anniversary MagicBand+ are such a cool tribute to the movie. It’ll be the practically perfect MagicBand to use on your adventures in Batuu. Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing when a limited-release MagicBand will sell out. This one was just released for May the 4th, so I’m wishing on a star that it’ll still be available when you get to the Most Magical Place on Earth in July!
There’s actually an easy way to find MagicBands at Disney World. Visit the
Shops page on the website and click the MagicBands icon at the top. That’ll show you all the stores on property that sell them. Hopefully, this helps you locate your precious cargo as quickly as possible!
Once you’ve secured your MagicBand+, there’s a fun way to use it to explore
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Together with the
Play Disney Parks app, you can use your MagicBand+ to channel your inner Boba Fett through the
Batuu Bounty Hunters game. The missions will take you all around Black Spire Outpost!
And when you’re ready for a break, head to
Oga’s Cantina to relax with a drink while bopping to the beats of DJ R-3X. Last year, they added some more filling snacks to the menu, like my favorite, the Thruster Roasted Bantha Flatbread. It’s such a great place to refuel for the rest of the day!
Safe travels to Disney World this summer, and don’t hesitate to visit us again if you have any other questions. And, as always, may the force be with you!
