If I was putting money on it... It would be around the time the Treehouse and Toontown come back as I expect quite a bit of MB+ integration in those areas.Has there been any updates to when Magicbands or Magicbands+ will be available at Disneyland
But I thought at the last update, MB+ was said as "rolling at Disneyland Resort later this year" and WDW later in the summer. Toontown will be closed until 2023.If I was putting money on it...

and the Treehouse?But I thought at the last update, MB+ was said as "rolling at Disneyland Resort later this year" and WDW later in the summer. Toontown will be closed until 2023.
Yep. Those LL scanners don't yet have touch capabilities. I don't even know if that can be added in or if they have to replace the whole thing. And they will have to maintain a scanner of some sort anyway, since not everyone will buy magic bands and people still use paper tickets here.and the Treehouse?
We will know it is coming soon when they start to update the LL scan machines.
But people at WDW can scan tickets at the magicband scanners too, we saw it in April.Yep. Those LL scanners don't yet have touch capabilities.

WDW "tickets" are RFID cards - they don't use barcodes at all. (I think they converted everything to RFID in 2013 - people had to convert their existing paper tickets to RFID cards to continue using them.)But people at WDW can scan tickets at the magicband scanners too, we saw it in April.
You'd think, but if it was so simple, why haven't they already done it?I would imagine it would be fairly trivial to install an rfid reader above the scanner.

I'm betting there's a supply or tech issue with MB+. I mean, WDW accidentally sold a batch of them two months ago, so they definitely have stock of some kind. I can't imagine that anything would happen at DL until long after WDW's full release.
