So I have a trip coming up in June, and so far there area only the old magic bands as an option, and I am wondering how long they will keep those around because as of now, there are only 2 designs available.
Unless they've changed things, MB2 aren't supposed to go away. They're supposed to exist side-by-side, just at different price points. The limited inventory is a supply chain thing as far as I know.

Figures its the same phone. I've been reading more about it and seems to be very hit or miss on photos showing up.
I love my phone at least. I'm only upgrading because the trade in value for it is great and the camera on the S22 ultra is amazing.

I do think photos from phones are hit or miss. A friend suggested that maybe pitting the phone too low causes issues with signal. They are local AP holders and test.

Pretty cool. Anyone know if the galactic credits are something that can be redeemed as cash in Batuu?
Probably not. You earn credits playing some of the mini-games and flying the Falcon. That can earn you accomplishments on your Datapad. This sounds like another way to do that. It passes the time in line, and it's another fun thing to do in the land.

Is that an app you need to download to interact with the land?

Yes - the Play Disney Parks app. Log in with your Disney account, and there are some things you can do at home. Some games open up when you're in line for an attraction, and it helps pass the time.

When you're in Batuu, there are more things you can do.

Here's a look at how the bands can interact with the Fab 50 character statues -



Speakers that give out random canned catchphrases when you get close enough with higher priced Magic Bands?..

Color me incredibly unimpressed - especially when the same park still has “A Pirate’s Adventure - Treasures of the Seven Seas” available in Adventureland not locked behind a fancy magic band paywall and with a ton more interaction.*

You don’t even have to compare this to wands at another park down the road.😏

Walmart sells greeting cards that do more than this when you open them.

*Seriously, if you’ve never done this, you really owe it to yourself if you’re in the park. It’s a really fun physically interactive experience thst blows this (and the former Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom) away:

You know these might be cute if you just stumbled across them as another option for magic bands. But to have any sort of hoopla about the roll out after all this time just makes it seem ridiculous.
Ridiculous and desperate to make the rubes think they're getting something cool.
