I'd buy the Banditz, sue me!

Not the t-shirt though, too cheesy.

If you like the band and the little band doodads, that's great! You should get them. Have fun with it!

I was in WDW at the end of August, and saw a few people wearing these shirts. I was in complete shock someone payed $25 (or however much they are) to wear one.

They were probably bloggers who got free shirts.

I vote that anyone seen wearing one of those shirts should be hit in the back of the head with a sock full of nickles.

Those shirts are the most shameful, and cheapest, self-promoting gimmicks I think I've ever seen.

Just wondering, if it was uncomfortable, why did you keep wearing it? I don't find them comfortable either, so I generally would use my room key. Did they give you a regular room key too?

Basically, I'm trying to figure out if they try to force you into the band by making it difficult to get a regular room key.

No, I had a room key, but it was forever getting lost in the bottom of my cinch bag. Picture it - one compartment: water bottle, rain poncho, KTTW card, iPhone, nephew's poncho, nephew's camera, couple of tissues, 3 bandaids, tiny change purse (not big enough for the card) with tip $$. And no back pockets on my capris.
By the last day, I finally came up with the brilliant idea of attaching the band to my belt loop. Very difficult to use that way, though.

What, I'm not going for 13 days and I have my band on already, OK not really.

The shirts are bad- but they may be funny to wear in a few years after they are gone.

This must be a moving display, this was at the contemporary resort back in July for the bay lake magic band test.

We bought the cotton slipcovers for the magic bands...set of 3: Enchanted Tiki Room, Haunted Mansion and It's Small World.

Hubba hubba.

There are similar displays like this all over property, both in the parks and the resorts.
Zwadi Marketplace at Animal Kingdom Lodge had one in early September.

I kind of liked this shirt, though not enough to buy it.

 

[Suspirian]

Wouldn't this basically be like getting a t shirt with a room key logo on it?

I want to point out this is exactly the reason magic bands are a good idea. Its always readily available and helps lines move quicker (in theory of course). Plus you can easily see if children have theirs or not.

The charms for the Band are a decent idea I guess. But who would ever buy and wear one of those shirts? Yuck

 

[Figaro928]

I sorta like the idea of the charms - i think they are just mis-marketing them. If they were sold individually, and not in a three pack, they could easily go the way of pin trading.

Absolutely! I was pro-MB before our trip. Still am.

As I said, I WAS THE ONLY ONE who found the band uncomfortable. I've considered trying to explain the problem, but didn't want to bore you; but here goes. My wrist is of above average circumference, but is all bony. It's extra wide, and the RFID section which is quite rigid, starts to curve long before my wide, bony wrist does, and rubbed on both sides. No amount of adjustment alleviated the rubbing.

I've also mentioned this in another thread, but my band didn't always work. It did work on the resort room door, FP+, and at park entry. It consistently did not work for: charging purchases, charging on the DDP, or opening the entry gate at POP. And again, no one else had these issues.

My avatar is from last year - that is not a MB that I am wearing, but one of those flexible rubber bracelets w/magnets. I guess I was expecting the MagicBand to be more like that. For those of you who have not worn them yet, they are NOTHING like the "Live Strong" type of bracelets.

Further "make yourself feel superior" marketing.

Yep.
Marketing it as if it was the next iPhone...or iWhatever.....

Sheesh.....

 

[Soarin' Over Pgh]

Those shirts are insulting.

They might as well make a "I <3 the tangled toilets" shirt and sell that.

 

[awoogala]

think they'll sell? I can't see this being a hot item

sadly, yes, and therein lies the problem. Some will buy anything "new", some are so wrapped up in their identification as a "Disney fan" that they will need it, some will think magicband is really this awesome. Hopefully, though, the percentage will be small enough that it won't encourage it, but I can't trust in Americans to see through this, on the whole. (and before you ask, I am American, just sigh....)

I want one that says "I still prefer the traditional park ticket"

they would probably put Eeyore on it

How old school are we talking?

Would you rather it was still pay-per-ride?
