Is it possible to buy a Magic Band for fun?

I'm going to be highly annoyed if I get the unfortunate task of having to stand on the street corner and sell these ridiculous things when I start this summer. Merch sounded somewhat fun at first, but not I'm not so sure. Hard to sell something you're not passionate about. But, I'll just take in stride. It might not be so bad

Standing in one spot holding a product sounds preferable than the rest of the tasks Merch CMs do. I'd much rather stand somewhere than stock shelves, deal with cranky guests who can't find what they want or just about anything else retail related.

Let me tell you about some of the crappy jobs I had when I was younger....standing at WDW on a corner selling anything short of live hand grenades would be better than those

Aw, it will be easy: It's Disney and people will buy anything!
When guests ask you what's so special about them, simply say "They are MAGIC Bands! They make your money disappear!" ... see how long it takes before they let you go

Actually, that makes one wonder just how the CM is trained to respond when the guest asks just what the band does or gives them that the RFID card (which they already have) doesn't.

I think a lot of people will just consider the form factor to be more convenient, regardless of the actual additional features.

Plenty for sale on ebay. Some of which will be claimed to unused/unworn.
Haven't seen any for sale direct yet.

My friend has a Disneyland AP and he saw some people there with Magicbands lol

Makes sense... APs that work at both parks are Magic Bands.

Makes sense... APs that work at both parks can be linked to Magic Bands.

Fixed it
