Special Magic Bands in the Parks - cost and selection?

[HeyKoolaid]

On ebay I have seen several different "special" magic bands for sale, ranging from price of $31.00 to $150.00. Which bands have you recently seen in the parks, what is the cost, and where are you finding them?

I'd suggest looking at a site like http://www.magicbandcollectors.com/ instead of eBay. They usually report the list price, as well as locations where it could be found.

Agree with looking at the above website. The bands are everywhere. Park shops and Town Square. Resort Gift Shops. Downtown Disney. You will find a nice selection everywhere. There are a few that are more exclusive to their location such as the Haunted Mansion band is only in MK, the Star Wars bands were only in DHS .... but most bands are everywhere. No way I would buy online, look at them in person and pick one - the CM checking you out will link your MB to your ticket. Only takes a few minutes.

Thanks for your replies! I really want an Ariel band but I wasn't sure how prevalent they are in the parks. I was afraid of going on vacation with the idea of buying one in the parks, but finding them discontinued or sold out.
