Special Effects
Here are all of the known FastPass+ and entry point lights and sounds (special effects or “surprise and delight” effects) known currently at Walt Disney World with MagicBands.
General speaking, almost all MagicBands make the normal green lights with sounds at touch points, as seen in the “Normal Effects” section. Limited Edition bands, which usually have a set number produced and coming in a special box, can make special effects randomly as certain touch points throughout Disney. These have special colored lights and new sounds associated with just that band usually at a specific park, which I’ve noted below the title of the MagicBand.
Disney calls these effects “Surprise & Delight” and say that they happen randomly, but through trial and error I’ve figured out where you are most likely going to see the effects work. Disney makes no promises that the effect will work every time you use it at a touch point, and some people have purchased a band to later find out that the effect never works for them, so buyer beware.
