Any Haunted Mansion Magic band+ available at WDW?

[frannn]

Trying to decide if we should grab one of the pre-arrival Magic Band + before our trip or wait if there are any Haunted Mansion themed ones at the parks. Also debating whether the cost is worth it on the non-discounted ones. How many years do the new Magic Band + work? Are they better at picking up the ride photos for a longer period of time?

Only one Haunted Mansion MB+ has been released to date. Not sure if it's currently available at WDW.

As far a functionality, all versions of MagicBands should work for virtually forever for the basic functions where you need to touch the band to a reader. That includes park entry, room entry, room charging, LL queue entry, etc.

The battery is really only used for automatic linking of ride photos. Since the MB+ has a rechargeable battery, photo linking should continue to work for a very long time as long as the battery is charged to a sufficient level.
