Purple Magic Band?

[ParrotBill]

But I don't think you get a color choice if you get your bands at WDW. I think they are all gray.

I really expect that to change when they open it up to non-resort guests to buy bands or maybe sooner. I cannot see a reason why they can't stock colors onsite.

They have until April to get that purple band available .....

Just wait until your last possible day to confirm your colors.

The bling for the bands are only available in the gift shops of testing resorts. I will check prices later for you. I bought the charms that fit in the holes. They had some really cute ones. There are sleeves/covers that come as a single or 3 pack.

They have slides also and you get a 2013 with Mickey head slide when you check in.

Oh ok thank you so much. So everyone will get the 2013 one? I could've sworn I read somewhere that they are not giving them out anymore, maybe I misread.

I had a Magicband for my August trip and didn't get a 2013 bandit or mickey head slide.

Well I can see that these bands are going to be a pain to stock. Before the plastic cards, whether PVC or Tyvek, were stored in I guess sleeves of a hundred or so and loaded into a hopper and you got whatever character came out the bottom.

How much room is in those little ticket booths? Enough to keep 6 or so colors of MB's handy. Each MB takes up the space of maybe 30 or 40 cards. I can very well see them only giving out one color at least at the booths to use less space.

Also just thought of this, since the automated kiosks can't handle MB's they are either going to go bye bye or or be replaced with something that I think would look like some sort of MB vending machine.
