Hi, Rebecca! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
If you are planning on purchasing a custom and/or designed
MagicBand for your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation, I don’t see it being an issue at this time! In fact, many merchandise locations are still selling the original MagicBands for the exact reason that you mention, the designs! That being said, it is possible that by September these are slowly phased out, but that would also mean that there would most likely be a better selection of
MagicBand2 designs at that point. If you are staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you will probably be sent a new version of the MagicBand, but by using your
My Disney Experience account, you can link the MagicBand that you wish to use by making it “Active”. If you have any issues, you can see
Guest Relations when you arrive, or consult your
Lobby Concierge.
I hope this answers your question! Have a magical vacation and stop by again real soon!
Jen
