Hello, Shari. Welcome, foolish mortal, to planDisney. I'll be your ghost host. So kindly step in, there's no turning back now. We'll take a tour and explore your question that we've simply been dying to answer.
Is this
MagicBand+ actually stretching? Or is it your imagination? I believe I know exactly which MagicBand+ you are referring to, as I purchased the same one a few years ago when the MagicBand+ first made its debut at the Disneyland Resort.
I just recently returned from a visit and unfortunately do not recall seeing this design available. Although we can't predict which styles will be in stock during your visit, I can share that one of the best places to search for a MagicBand+ is at
World of Disney in Downtown Disney District with a selection that stretches far and wide. While you can find the MagicBand+ available for purchase at many locations around the resort, I find that the selection is the best here. You can also peruse the options at the
Disney Store. I don't see any Haunted Mansion options available right now, but new styles are always being added and I recommend checking again before your visit.
Having a MagicBand+ makes my park visits so convenient. It's so nice to tap in for entry to the parks and into the
Lightning Lane entrances hands-free. There are some
extra special interactions available right now during the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration. And you'll even get some fun keepsakes to take home with you. I also love the haptics and lights that play along with the nighttime spectaculars. There's even some interaction with select attractions. Not only will a ghost follow you home from the Haunted Mansion, but you just might get a special surprise from your MagicBand+ as you exit the attraction.
Shari, while this might not be the answer you were hoping for, I hope that the information I shared is still helpful. Time is ticking down to the magic and it won't be much longer until your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. I'll be sending sympathetic vibrations in the hopes that you're able to find the MagicBand+ that you're looking for. If there's anything else that we can help with before your visit, don't hesitate to "hurry baaaack" with any other questions.
