MagicBand 1.0 and 2.0 technological questions

[Disney Forever]

Hi everybody,

I am going to the World in May with my family, we are staying at the Dolphin so I purchased MagicBands from the DisneyStore.com, Im a plannner so I purchased them early. About 2 weeks later, they announced MagicBand 2.0.

Now my question, is there anything in the park that will be activated (like at the end of "it's a small world" they show your names) by the new 2.0 Bands that wont work if we wear the old style bands? I would hate to miss out on any "extras" happening just because I was wearing the old style bands?

Thanks in advance

Nathan

There's nothing different between the two bands aside from the look and mold of it. Interactive elements, scan points, etc aren't affected by the band type

So technologically, the bands are exactly the same?

Yes technologically all is exactly the same it is just the container of the tech that is different.

Not that I've seen anyone mention.
