Laura,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
I was just at Walt Disney World about 2 weeks ago, and they are still selling the original version of the MagicBands, as well as the
MagicBand+ versions, in the resort hotel and theme park stores.
I did notice that the
Disney Store seems only to sell the MagicBand+ version now, so I was worried about what variety of original MagicBands would even be available when I got to Walt Disney World. However, I found a bunch of great options, with a lot of fun designs. So, while it is clear that the MagicBand+ versions seem to be the band of the future, you still have a lot of MagicBand choices. You just cannot order them prior to arrival.
BONUS TIPWhile there are some great features to the MagicBand+ that you cannot enjoy with an original version MagicBand, like the
Batuu Bounty Hunters quest, most of the key features remain intact. Key less room entry, charging capabilities, ticket media access, they are all still in there!
Please feel free to
write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
