New color ?Wait…what are these? New MB colors for DVC members? When did this start?
MBs that say DVC - cost is $29.99
Eventually magic bands will go the same way parking went I bet. Disney will find a way to make you pay for them at some point.
Rest assured we are already paying for them.
But this is one that as long as it remains the key for the room it's unlikely it can become a separate charge. And the phone app won't cut it for the access. Otherwise can you image at the front desk? "So ma'am - your room number is 3510. If you'd like to have access to the room that'll be another $25. Shall I charge that to your credit card? No? Then we can leave the window open for you".
I'm still sporting my purple DVC anniversary band from a couple of years ago.
I would think if you choose this band to be the " active band " in MDE that everything should link ( tickets and Photopass).Love mine too! I wanted to wear my trip coming up in two weeks but want to make sure my Photopass pictures link. Do you think they are too old. I purchased when they were first on sale.
It is estimated that a MB will last 2-3 years based on battery life. Long distance communications such as Photopass require the battery. Once it dies only the near field communication will work (door lock, point of sale etc.)Love mine too!

Couldn't you change out the puck from the new MB? I'm not sure if colors match, but I would think it should be close.
Yes, the pucks are interchangeable with the bands, you just need a small Philips head watch/eye glasses screw driver to unscrew the puck from the band. It takes a little bit of force to pop the puck out.
We have fun changing out the pucks with different colored bands for our trips. We let our girls pick the colors that we use for our trips.

Thank you. I purchased approximately 2-3 years ago. Will just save it I guess. I will use the band I just got for our trip. Two weeks from today, yahoo!
