I saw a website that shows magic band accessories for sale in the Contemporary gift shop. Are the bands in use in the parks?

We were in WDW last Saturday (stayed for 4 days), after our Fantasy cruise & saw a few families with the bands, both in the parks & at Y&BC.

They may have been part of cast member testing.

Very possible, I suppose active CMs (DW is a retired CM) do take vacations at the resorts as well.
