DVC Magicband discount?

[Dano1182]

Is there a DVD discount for pre arrival magic bands order?
If so how do I apply it

Any one with a DVC or WDW resort reservation can preorder Magic Bands at the discounted price.

Once you link your reservation to MDE, it allows you to order magic bands. Plain colors are $5. Specialty ones range from $10 to $20.

I wanna say they upped prices maybe early June...I used to think $5 or $10 for a new one each trip wasn't bad, but many of the new ones are $25. That adds up fast!

Don't forget that they last a minimum of two years. You don't need to buy each trip if you go every year.

I no longer need because of my Apple watch so using all the ones I have will last a long time I carry one as back up.

But my friends need them.

Any function where you physically need to touch the MB to a reader will work for (virtually) forever. Park entry, room entry, room charging, manual photo linking, etc. all draw any necessary power from the touch point and will continue to work as long as Disney supports the RFID technology.

The only function that won't work once the internal battery dies is automatic ride photo linking.

Yes, those new prices are what we paid in late may for our August stay.

Technically the near field reader lasts virtually forever. It's just the far field reader or whatever the exact term is that only lasts about 2 years. You could still tap your band to things and it'll work on bands older than 2 years.

Edit: Just noticed someone else already said the same thing above

So there in no specific DVC discount
Just the general pre order price?

Correct, it has always been that way.

If you purchase on property, the DVC member merchandise discount would apply.

Just the general pre order price?

For the ones available for having a resort stay, no additional discount on top of the already discounted price.

I think he meant there has never been a DVC exclusive discount on pre-order magic bands for resort stays.

There did used to be complimentary solid color magic bands for any on property resort guests but they did away with that for stays starting Jan 1 2021 and moved to a reduced cost option with solid color bands and specialty ones.

Ok thanks all

Please explain. How can one use an Apple watch instead of magic band?
