Magic bands at SAB?

[DisneyDreamer1974]

So will we just use our magic bands to get into SAB next month? I don't want to swim with them on, but I figure we will need them to gain access there, right?

Next month? No.

In future, when the system is operating? Probably, yes.

Yacht club is a test resort in August. So yes, you'd wear them to SAB. But my question is, do you have to take them off everyone in your party to show the resort printed on the underside of the band?

I don't think the resort is printed on the band. This has never been expressed and seems illogical as the band can be used for multiple visits.
I was told those who are part of the August test will receive a Traditional card in addition to the magic band. The card will be used to access places not yet prepped for magic bands- I believe this to include SAB and the 5th floor (club level area) amongst others.

Nice of Disney to spend a billion dollars and not think things through.

Is the beach club also part of the test in August? I leave in two weeks and I am staying at the BC.

 

[TIME4DIZ]

Nope.
Enjoy your trip!

Maybe the chip in the band will light up a Mickey to enter SAB.
