Magic Bands on Display at Epcot Right Now?

[*NikkiBell*]

I saw a thread over at the Theme Parks forum stating that some of the Magic Bands are on display at Epcot near the AP RFID trade-in table. Did anyone see them? A few colors are shown in a pic that's circulating.

Here is a pic I've been told was on display at the Odyssey. Look like they've got 7 basic colors to choose from.

I wonder if I can could get one that is garnet and gold. I know that the customs will be Disney theme If they decide to do that. Would love an FSU one.

Hey a Seminole girl can dream can't I.

Any idea when they will start rolling these out?

I guess I'll have to wait until they get a purple band. Have any announcements been made about the Premier pass?

In another thread it was mentioned that they aren't doing it for the PP yet, as they are waiting for specific card stock...

Anyone know what the bands are made of? (Just pure nosiness and curiosity)

Basically plastic, although it looks like it is a decent quality and pliable.

Do we think this means we are getting close to a rollout for all/most resort guests?

The other thread is saying the next test is expected in May, although that is just speculation. We really don't know much about rollout yet.

Thanks. It does look very soft and pliable; I actually wondered if it might be some type of rubber. I'm looking forward to this. It will save me some legwork on future trips when I run down to grab something to drink from the food court, get back to my room, and have to go back to reception because I left my room key on the bed

Supposedly they are going to be testing then with all Boardwalk Resort guests next month. I think we are getting closer!

Yes! Purple please!

Are these available as AP replacements, or are they just for show?

Just for show right now, but will replace APs eventually.

For Seasonal too hopefully. I hope the rubber is not too harsh I have sensitive skin.

I read (but can't remember where) Hypo-allergenic Rubber. Purple would be fabulous!

I have a feeling they will have many other designs out soon, they're never slow to miss out on revenue

Does that mean that Premier Passports won't have a magic band? I like my shimmery gold card, but a purple band would work, too!

All us Dis'ers should go for the green one to match our LGM's.
