Magic band+?

[ShannyMcB]

Silly question and probably posted elsewhere but...
Thoughts on extremely limited selection of magic bands on the MDE site? Could it mean magic band+ is almost here?
Not sure if I'll be buying into the magic+ bands or not. I know our old ones will work with touchpoints but I want to make sure they work for on ride photos.
Give me some good news!

I hadn't looked myself but did after you posted this. Only 13 different bands to choose from? I struggle to think this is because of a supply chain issue, but who knows? My family doesn't go until end of July so we have some time to choose. Hopefully MB+ is available or a better selection of regular MB's are available.

I have heard that magicbands will still be sold even once MB+ are released. If that's true, then maybe it's just a supply chain issue. However, they could also limit the MB selection at the beginning of MB+ release to push people toward MB+.

When I ordered in Dec, they emailed me an alert that they would take longer than usual because of supply chain issues. There were not a whole lot of options then either, yhough i didnt count them. I think i got them in three weeks.

I don’t think MB will go away when MB+ comes out. It’s smart to have bands in a wide price range and the MB+ are sure to be higher priced than the “regular” bands.

Considering the Fab 50 statues interact with MB+. You would hope they come out before the 50th is over !

They added speakers not to long ago to the statues. I wonder if they will stick around longer due to the delay .

Can someone confirm they are still selling the solid MB on property?
My husband isn't a huge Disney fan, I don't see the point in purchasing one for $30. Was hoping they would have the plain ones.

What is the MB+? I’m confused about what the big upgrades are and too lazy to do much searching…

Lights, vibrations that respond to things around you such as fire works,statues, and galaxy's edge missions.

So nothing really functional is changing… That’s what I thought. Thanks!

You forgot the best part, they are rechargable.

Where’s the special edition MagicBand+ design that says I stayed at the Galactic Star Cruiser Resort and you didn’t?

Currently there is ONE choice available. One. And it's the expensive upgraded 50th Anniversary style that costs extra.
