MagicBand+ announced

[ToTBellHop]

I'm in for $50 with a rechargeable battery.

That would be a pleasant surprise for me given what they charge for some of the ones that do nothing. Already $40!

I‘m thinking $69.99 but just a guess.

 

[aliceismad]

Yay. My kid will love this.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

How is this not ready & in stock to be sold for the start of the 50th?

Can’t wait to see tomorrow…my hunch is it will be like opening day

Google "global supply chain crisis."

Probably a factor

I wonder if they update my booking so i can order one for when I come next Oct

Like next year??

100% There are multiple levels of Apple Watch, Garmin forerunners, etc. I like these designs, but personally dont need the lights and buzzes.

I'd still like smartwatch apps that can take over the functions of MB, and maybe give a fun watch face while active. Then I don't need a big chunky piece on each wrist, or an awkward silicone puck holder on my watch band.

Apple and Disney are not close friends anymore.

I think this is neat but just not something I care all that much about.
I'm actually trying to find better ways to carry my MB than on my wrist these days.
I'm trying an Etsy magic keeper next trip.

 

[aliceismad]

Yeah good point. Current pricing:

Solid color: $20
Open edition: $30
Limited release: $35
Limited edition: $40
Dooney limited release: $48
Dooney limited edition: $58

Yeah, but everything Dooney is stupid expensive anyway.

Name wise, seems they are just using the "+" to tie it to Genie+. There will probably be at least one family that will purchase the bands and assume it means they get access to Genie+ LL.
Now if these could sync to vibrate and change to a specific color X minutes before a TS or LL time, I'd be more interested. I could ignore the time till my band went off at least.

 

[mightynine]

I'll throw my pricing guess at $79.99.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Will it allow me to Jedi Mind Trick myself into the 2nd park of the day at 11 am instead of 2 pm?

 

[HauntedPirate]

Fast pass?

Hard pass. I don’t even care much for MB’s in general, this doesn’t move the needle for me one iota. I’ll keep using my old MB’s until I can’t.

$199.99 with a glass of sparkling apple cider?

Plus a cupcake!

 

[ToTBellHop]

Plus a cupcake!

EARidescent edible glitter or I walk away.

My iPad now autocorrects to EARidescent. I have a pathology.

 

[sheriffwoody]

meh

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

$199.99 with a glass of sparkling apple cider?

How much for the cupcake?

Will it allow me to Jedi Mind Trick myself into the 2nd park of the day at 11 am instead of 2 pm?

Never gonna happen

Plus a cupcake!

Add on

Disney and IT aren’t friends, anymore, either . I’m not an Apple Watch user (I wear a Garmin 945 as my daily), but a DME/MB/Genie app for smart watches should be a thing. At least for Android and Apple wearables - I know us fitness people are a small portion of the market share.

Clearly time to take a break from posting

You know what has a fun watch face? An actual watch.

I wore a Goofy watch for years as a teen. It took quite a while to re-acclimate to true clockwise movement on my wrist
