What to do with the extra basic Magic Bands

[Gillyrose779]

So we already have a hefty collection of basic magic bands and with our upcoming trip that includes a split stay and AP bands coming we are going to have more than I know what to do with.

Two questions:

1- Is there any good treads out there discussing this? Any crafty ideas on what to do with all the extra bands?

2- DH is annoyed that it looks like it's just another basic magic band for our AP band- is there any way to "upgrade" the band from the basic colors short of just going out and buying one ourselves? I'm pretty sure the answer is no but DH would like to know 100% and I'm just too plain lazy to wait on hold with Disney on this one.

Thanks!

1. There is an entire thread on the Theme Parks Community board discussing self-decorated magic bands.

2. Sorry, it's just a regular band. If you want a band with a character on it or a limited edition band you have to buy that separately.

That is cute! I was thinking maybe trying to make a lamp perhaps- make a narrow base to stack the magic bands on- not sure how that would turn out though.

Lamp idea sounds promising. Of course, you might need a few more trips to WDW, with split stays, to get the amount of bands you'll need! What a good idea!

Last Fall we stayed 1 night at a value, then split stay BLT and FtW Cabins. Plus we bought a Food & Wine package that came with F&W magic bands. One trip and we had oodles of magic bands!
