Magic Bands - Crazy for Color?

[henry72]

My DH picked grey our first trip (which I painted with black nail polish) and on our upcoming trip he again picked grey but is using a Star Wars Magic Your Band decal this time.

DD last time picked pink which we added glitter to. Also made mine teal and DS's purple before the purple band came out. (This time he choose the purple band but is putting a BB8 decal on it.)

One of my favorites is my Haunted Mansion grey MB.

I would love to get that band but I just can't justify spending money on something that I can get for free - in a boring, drab colour

If the batteries could be replaced so the bands would last longer I would totally grab the HM band - to go with my HM Dooney and Bourke (which I just realized might be the reason I can't afford to buy a magic band ).

Of our group of 13 going next month, 2 chose gray: DD 16 and BIL. Gray seems totally appropriate for both of them and that's what I expected them to choose. LOL.

Did you know they have D&B magic bands?

You bet I do!

But holy jumpin are they pricey!!

So nice though - and again, if the batteries could be replaced it would be a consideration. After I bought the HM MB of course.

But I'm still quite happy with my plain old grey bands.

The battery is only necessary for long-range things like the ride photos. It's not needed for things where you have to touch the Magic Band to something, like using FP, entering the parks and opening hotel doors.

Right, my plan was to put one with a working battery in my purse/bag, and wear whatever one I want. Best of both worlds.

OOOO yes they do match well. Now that you mention I have a Purple/Black HM mini phone purse and pretty sure the Purple/Black MB.

Whatever makes you happy

I would never, ever get gray but that's me

 

[AJA55]

Mom's 84 years young. She picked grey because it matches her hair!

 

[BayouQueen]

My husband has ordered grey, so that it doesn't mess up photos. He won't go to the great lengths I do of making sure my clothes match my band. And if it doesn't match, I just remove the darn thing and carry it in my purse. When they match or contrast well, they're awesome, but when they don't....

 

[HopperFan]

My mom picked the "grey band of shame" our last trip for the same reason. I painted mine with teal nail polish. Whatever you'd prefer.

The Grey Band of Shame - that's brilliant!!! Love it!

I have all the colors, even some multiples. I have several specialty ones. I do not have a grey one. Didn't want it.

But now I think I will order a grey one ............ and paint on it ............. "Grey Band of Shame"

 

[Meriweather]

I have one of every color.....well, purple is coming for next trip. I wanted a set so have gray.
Then I just get the colors I like and wear the most which is blue, green and red. I have several of each of those.

DH is a blue and gray person. He has several of each of those.

Purple forever!

 

[Jennasis]

I'm all about the green band.

 

[disneymom0104]

My husband wanted gray but the kids talked him into blue so we would have a complete rainbow

 

[Huff]

I find the whole idea of a band rather poor. Everyone wearing essentially the same thing, just different colors. They're ugly and uncomfortable. I use them only for fast passes and when dining on DDP or when returning at night to our room. So little use I just keep it in my pocket.

 

[stephmarty]

I almost ordered gray, but with 4 kids our room gets very cluttered and I was afraid I would not be able to find it! With my bunch in a single room for a week, things can disappear in plain sight. So I went from gray to yellow thinking it will stand out on a cluttered desk or dresser.

I booked under the Awaken Summer package and got the light up-makes sounds BB8 band for free. Trying it out in a week.
