The second of the five new MagicBands I predicted would be released soon is now out. This one is an Open Edition band for $22.99 and features the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion attraction. The SKU/barcode is 400000689562 and can be found today in the Shop Disney Parks mobile app or at the Walt Disney World theme parks.
This band is a normal gray base band with graphics, despite this picture from Disney showing it on a dark gray-blue band color.
Great magicband! Have you heard any rumblings of Dumbo being released soon? I’m shocked he hasn’t got his own band yet.
Nope, still nothing. I am surprised as well!
I’m waiting for Dumbo too! He’s been my favorite for my entire life, and I know I’m not the only one, so I can’t believe Disney’s leaving him out of all the MagicBand fun!
Someone needs to mention this to Disney. It’s been years since Magicbands have come out, and their missing a major character who also has a flagship ride!
I saw that today. I hope someone finds out if the band is thin Gen 2?
If by “Gen 2” you mean the thinner style, then the answer is yes. All new bands (meaning new graphic bands previously not released) are all the thinner style now. Even old designs are switching to the thinner style slowly.
It is ‘glow-in-the-dark’?
Good question! Hopefully someone who has it can chime in.
No I purchased one two days ago in the parks, it does not glow in the dark although the light blue color may appear it glow in a dark ride, like a white shirt would as well.
Does this make a special sound effect when you scan for a fast pass?
Nope, that’s only for Limited Editions.
When on earth are the food and wine bands out?
I’m not sure if they are making Food & Wine bands this year… which is shocking to me. We still have a few weeks left until it starts, but I still haven’t heard a peep about them.
It appears to be the same grey as the standard magicband grey. It doesn’t flow in the dark either.

I bought the band the day it was released! I wish it glows in the dark (it appears it would) but unfortunately it does not! It’s still a cool design though!
Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion color in computer rendering really rocks from band color to ghost colors. The actual band is too bland in coloring. Glad I didn’t buy one online. I prefer to see one in person rather than buy if the design works.
Still hoping against hope a King Louie, or TRON, or Robin Hood band shows up between now and the end of the month!
