First look at the special lights at touch points for the DVC 25th Limited Edition MagicBand

April 14, 2016 | Filed under: FP+, MagicBands and tagged with: 25th, Disney vacation club, DVC, limited edition

Here’s a first look at the special lights and sounds that are shown using the new DVC 25th Limited Edition MagicBands. This video was taken at the entry touch point to one of the theme parks. The special lights and sounds only work at entry and not at FastPass+ touch points because this is a band that is sold throughout WDW, not a park-specific band. If you are at a touch point that has the sound turned on you will hear “Welcome Home!” upon scanning.

Special thanks to reader Jordan for the video!

    I don’t understand why they turn the sound off.

      Because they did not want it on.

    Which LE magic bands, if any, were given to guests for free? I am looking to book a trip for the third week of December and was wondering about my chances for a free Christmas Mickey Magic Band.

      No Limited Edition MagicBand has ever been free. They have always cost $30 or more at retail. Sorry!

    Anybody else heard about availability issues? Asked several retail places at Disney World yesterday and they indicated shipping issue had prevented distribution to retail stores. Now item is gone from app as well. Anybody know where to order from at this time?

      Wow crazy. They couldn’t have all be sold out by now can they? Hopefully they show back up in the parks soon.

        Happy to report I was able to order 3 red and one pink through the disney store online today. Ethan are there really only 2500 ? lol, as a collector I’m happy if there are— It seems that they might have released them in batches so there would be some through each point of sale… Thanks all for the information..

    There is a video posted on the disboards forum (in the DVC-Mousecellaneous board) that has the sound it makes.

      Hi Stacey – It will only change colors at entry points, not at FastPass+ points. Did you try it at the entry of Hollywood Studios?

      Update, have tried both ones we bought. At all 4 parks, nothing different then any other band when entering the parks. Although the design is nice, we would not have bought them if it was not for your site and video. There are nicer looking bands, we would have had more. Kind of feeling disappointed.

        I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. 🙁 The bands do (or did when I tried them) work for me at Hollywood Studios, so I’m curious why they aren’t for other people. Question: Are you both DVC members?

          I feel like with bands not working for the last week or so making lights and sounds, like with the mickeys very merry Christmas one that I tried last week…that perhaps they’re running an update or have them turned off so a bit.

    Just tried mine at Hollywood studios and it worked fine! I could not hear the audio though because the sound was too low, but it does for sure make sounds!:) and they have many of the magic bands left for purchase all around the park!:)

    I got my band a few days ago and I haven’t seen it do anything but turn green, where did you get these to turn colors??

      Mine did all of the colors at the entrance to Hollywood Studios.

      We both have one (one red, one blue) and they both had the special colors at DHS and Epcot (main entrance & IG).

    Just returned and had the first time to use this band-it didn’t do anything special at any of the parks-huge disappointment. My Flower and Garden band from 2014 continues to change colors. Really bummed

    Do you have to be a DVC member for the lights to work?

      Nope.
