As I predicted back on April 11th, new Signature MagicBands are being released in Walt Disney World, and today a few were put out early in Downtown Disney (Update 4/24: These are now available throughout all of Walt Disney World). The two put out today were Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, which are both officially being released on Friday, April 24th, 2015. Goofy, Donald, and Pluto are scheduled to be out on Friday, May 1st, 2015 and have the same styling. These bands are Open Edition (type A sticker) at $19.95 each and will not make any special lights and sounds at FastPass+ touch points.
Are this Magic Bands open edition?
Yep
I was at pin traders yesterday. Went to look for Cinderella and these. Neither of the three were there.
I just got back from Downtown Disney a few minutes ago and there were none there either. Maybe they put just a few out and they got snatched up quickly? More should appear on Friday and this weekend hopefully throughout the parks.
The best part about the Minnie Mouse one is that that is not her official autograph. That is a “Minnie” version of Mickey’s autograph. Compare that with what she signs in the parks.
Didn’t even notice that! Wish they would have done her actual park sig.
I’m new to Magic Bands. I’m going to WDW in 1 week where we will receive a standard band at our Disney resort. If I buy one of these signature bands, how and where do I activate it to assume all functionality of my standard magic band?
Right at the cashier when you buy it.
No official announcement by disney and still no cinderella band! These look go though. Classics, gotta get!
I wasn’t sure if they would announce these or not since they are just Open Edition.
I overheard some chatter today at emporium that Cinderella was coming in around 2 weeks. i don’t know how credible
Thanks for the info! I know Disney said they would post more details on the Disney Parks Blog once they had a release date. Hopefully they will post any day now.
