Interested to see how this works. We always buy special ones for the 3 of us, but this gives us a nice option.

This is a great option! Those who intend to purchase specialty bands anyway can do so at a reduced cost! Win-win!

I guess Disney saw most AP and resort guests don't buy extra magic bands since they already have enough to make giant Christmas wreaths out of them. What would be better for the environment is a $10 discount for no magic band.

I really like this option. I was always tired of the same colors. When will this be live to order?

I have 7 days till I have to finalize, planned on maybe purchasing a SW one for DH fathers day. It'd be nice to get them ahead of time.

Now they offer a MB discount! AFTER I've already purchased 2 bands for the DW and myself. Oh well. Getting MB in the mail a few weeks before our trip is always a great pre-trip fun. Signals, the trip is upon us!

I can't figure out why this wasn't done a long time ago...waiting to get to the park to get your custom band and having the extra complimentary one seems like a waste. It is also unlike Disney to miss an opportunity to make a few extra bucks. This is a good move.

Perfect example of a new revenue stream which doesn't affect the experience for everyone else.

discount for no magic band.

I like that, also.

When does this go live?

 

[Dave B]

I just went to MDE and its not up yet

 

[wdwfamilynh]

Glad I haven’t selected our MBs for this year’s trip yet! For once, my procrastination pays off. Looking forward to more info on when this goes live

It's strange to me they haven't announced when this will be available, just that it will be available "soon." I would think they'd want something like this since it's a revenue generating item up and running with the announcement.

Win for guests, win for Disney.

I like it . There are no losers.

Ban (free) straws, but keep generating plastic junk that turns a profit. What hypocrites. But, hey, TWDC gets praise for following the latest environmental fad while people keep shoveling cash in their direction, so it’s a win-win.

 

[homerdance]

This will get us to buy the Specialty bands. Never would have before. Good Option Disney.

Those that order magic bands for each trip probably don’t have environmental concerns on the top of their minds. But frankly, that really doesn’t have anything to do with this discussion.
