2016
There is a MagicBand for the 2016 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which started on November 7th, 2016. This Limited Edition MagicBand, which costs $32.99 and was only available at the party, is limited to only 3000 each (from 4000 in 2015, and 5000 in 2014), as Disney has had trouble selling all of the bands at previous parties. Hopefully this will make them a bit more exclusive. It comes in a special box and does make lights and sounds at FastPass+ touch points only in the Magic Kingdom. The SKU / barcode for this item is 400000721309.

2015
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for 2015 had a Limited Edition MagicBand in a special box again. It makes special lights and sounds at FastPass+ locations and costs $29.95. The band is limited to 4000, just like the 2015 Halloween Party band. Remember, you can only get this at the special ticketed party in the Magic Kingdom.
Here are some pictures of the MagicBand and box from the 2015 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This is the first Limited Edition band made in the new thinner and lighter MagicBand design. Disney’s merchandise SKU barcode for this MagicBand is 400000091280.

2014
A 2014 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party limited edition MagicBand was released at the hard-ticketed event in Walt Disney World on November 7th, 2014. This is similar to how there was a special band at the 2014 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
This band was Limited Edition 5000 and came in a nice box. It makes lights and sounds at FP+ touchpoints only in the Magic Kingdom with Mickey stating “Merry Christmas everybody!”. The price was $29.95. Disney’s merchandise SKU barcode for this MagicBand is 400009078886.
Random but very interesting, my friend and I were at Animal Kingdom today and his Very Merry LE band made the special red and white coloring when he would tag his band to a photo pass terminal after riding Everest and Dinosaur. It only would happen once but when he would ride again he would be able to see the special colors again, mysterious and interesting that this happens!
Any idea of how long these last? I’m planning to go on the last day of the party and I’m afraid all the limited edition merchandise will be sold out by then. Thanks.
Sorry Andrew, we won’t know until we find out how fast they are selling later this year… if they release them.
Do you know if they will have a new edition one this year? Is there a place to see new ones being released for the celebration ones or Star Wars?
I have no idea at this time, but my guess is yes, they will be releasing one. My site here keeps up to date on MagicBand news daily. If you want to find out when new stuff is released, visit this site daily.
I have not seen nor heard anything about the 2015 MVMCP Limited Edition Magic Band….any idea if they are releasing one?
I asked one of my sources and he hasn’t heard of one either. I will be at the first MVMCP and will know on Day 1 and will post on the website when I found out.
Do you know if the 2014 MVMCP bands still have the same sound/lights? 2015 sound was meh. Thanks!
Yes the 2014 still works.
Hi !
I have a 2014 MVMCP Band. We will be returning to WDW December, 2016> I would like to use my same band. I have already “attached” it to my “WDW Package” and then began wondering just how long the battery will work and if it will last that long. Does anyone know just how long these bands will stay “powered”…?
It should still work. The batteries should last at least two years, and that’s only for long-range stuff. Give it a try!
Do you know when the 2016 design will be made available? Also, I saw on another post there were 5k released in ’14 and 4k last year…can we expect another decrease for 2016? I’m surprised they weren’t all bought at the MVMCP and that many are available at the Orlando outlet. My trip is booked for early Dec. and I wasn’t sure if I should try finding one online before I go…
In my opinion they should lower it to 2500. They may do that, considering the Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Flower & Garden bands all are in that range. The Kylo Ren was also only 2,015 total and it took a while to sell out this year.
The 2016 design should appear sometime in October/November and won’t be for sale until the first party day.
Where will they be selling bands?
Pretty much any store that normally sells MagicBands in the Magic Kingdom during the party. The Emporium is your best bet.
Any word yet on the 2016 design? I have the ’14 and am trying to ebay a ’15 version but we are going to the Very merry christmas this year and can’t wait to pick it up!
Hi Chad,
No nothing is confirmed yet. I’d be surprised if there was not a band, but we will have to wait to see.
Would the 2015 Christmas party magic bands still make sound if worn to party in 2017?
Сan you tеll us morе aƅout tһis? Ӏ’ⅾ like to find օut more details.
