Seeking Quick Reply: Bandits for Magic Bands

[aristocatz]

We are leaving for WDW in 2 weeks and I came across the "Bandits" Magic Band accessories on Amazon & Ebay.

Do these fit the standard Magic Bands that Disney sends you?

Thanks!

Yes they will. However, they can fall out if you bump something, etc. Expect to lose a few.

Are you talking about Jibbitz? The things that stick in the holes, like on Crocs?
Bandits are normally the things that go across the band to help hold it closed. Disney used to sell them to but stopped a couple years ago. The Passholder thingy is a bandit like thing. For reference.

Bandits will fit MB

ETA - I’m mixed up. Bitbelts are the closure things

Thank you! I think I'm thinking of Bandits.....why did Disney stop selling them? Are there other fun accessories for Magic Bands?

Don’t waste your money on these! I bought a 4 pack and lost every one within 2 days. There is nothing actually holding them on so they quickly fall off.

Thank you-I"m starting to reconsider buying these.
Any suggested alternatives? My girls would love some fun little things they can wear to add some extra Disney bling lol

I don’t know of any. Disney would be smart to sell decorations that slide on, like the Passholder sliders.

Edit: I searched google for passholder sliders so I could show a picture of what those look like, and it turns out there are some sellers on Etsy that make personalized ones. Just search Etsy for “magic band sliders.” But with your trip being in two weeks, it may not be enough time.

Lots of etsy sellers have stickers that cover the whole magicband that are fun. I've also seen some diy bands that involve nail polish and temporary tattoos.
