WHOA! Is that real? Or is it perhaps one of the Magic Covers?

As per their instagram:

otisney Just a note here, in case there's any confusion, this is a Disney-created Magic Band, not a hand-customized one.

otisney This Disney-created Magic Band was given to me by a friend.

So as long as he's not trying to pull our legs, it is real and it's VERY limited!

It's much better than a cover, even the box it comes in it's pretty!

I want to know who that "friend" is, because I want one!

 

[FitzherbertFreak]

I want one - now! Though if I owned one, I would wear it every day, in and outside of the parks.

My wife said she's been following the status of it on Twitter. I guess they're still top secret (as in how to get them), but predictions are they'll be for sale soon.

If they are available before our March trip, I'll get one, and I MAY actually wear it. If nothing else, it's an awesome collectible.

Cool design. I find it interesting how similar the FP+ system is to the old ticketing system and now they are making the bands look like those old tickets. Coincidence?

Merf is saying this was old news. Something that was created at the beginning of the program as a sample

There has always been discussions about further customizations/specialized bands. It would be a great way for them to recoup some of the lower end costs.

I believe he is correct, but I have little doubt that custom bands such as these will be eventually available...for a price. They will sell like crazy, if and when they become available.

They will have at least one sale for that one!

I've heard that the higher ups at WDW got these.

It is just about selling nostalgia. There were no limits on tickets beyond what you wanted to pay (and no high cost admission up front) and they properly tiered attractions.

I heard that this was specially made for a large conference at WDW.

That is NOT a magic cover.

No, it's a Magic Band.

I know, a Magic Band especially made for attendees at a conference.
