Are Magicbands worth it?

If you read the Thowaway room thread https://www.disboards.com/threads/throwaway-room-offsite-to-onsite-stays-update.3539209/
You will see that many book a campsite with no plan on staying there. They only get the magic bands and free parking that come as perks with the reservation.

Now that is a good idea!!!

We like to stay onsite so we have multiple sets of MB. We are going to Disneyland in April and I think I will miss them.

We have a collection too (I usually bring them all and match to my outfit that day). We went to DL last November, stayed onsite and I have to say that I really missed having a MB. What a pain to have to constantly take out my card. I'm not 100% sure I would have paid to buy one though even if it was an option. But without it actually being an option and knowing what it costs, it's hard for me to make the assessment. But I do love having them at WDW especially when we go down to the pool (obviously not an issue if you're not staying onsite).
