After many rumors, Disney Parks Blog announced today three new Open Edition MagicBands coming out at the end of August (starting August 21st) at $19.95 each! These bands will be themed to the theme parks of Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Figment appears on the Epcot MagicBand, which is a much requested character, but unfortunately he’s not appearing on a purple MagicBand as many of us had hoped.
Grab that Hollywood Studio band while you can… rumor has it that the name of the theme park will change in the next few years as a major revamp of that theme park is about to be announced at the D23 Expo.
Here’s a preview of what the bands will look like:
Will any of these new bands have any touch point color/talking interaction?
Nope, they won’t. These are Open Edition. Only Limited Edition does that.
Do you know where they will be sold?
I am not sure yet… still trying to find out if they are park-specific or can be found anywhere at the Walt Disney World resort.
These are awesome! Do you reckon Disney will release an Oswald magic Band end of this month beginning September? ?
I haven’t heard anything about an Oswald band, sorry!
Am I able to purchase Magic bands from you? Or are they just not available yet?
Sorry, I don’t sell MagicBands. These three aren’t available in the parks yet anyway.
Where will these items can be bought?
I am not sure yet… still trying to find out if they are park-specific or can be found anywhere at the Walt Disney World resort.
Any idea when/if a 2016 Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween band will be released?
No idea yet. We’ll know more in the next 30 days.
Or next year… this is 2015 🙂
The Animal Kingdom band is available today at EPCOT Camera center.
Just confirmed all 3 are out
Do you know if the Figment one is at the Magic kingdom today? My fiance is there and I would love her to get it for me!
I don’t know about Magic Kingdom, but I have heard Figment is available at Epcot.
Hi everyone! All 5 Magic Bands are available at Mouse Gears at Epcot.
Thank you!!
Was just able to get all 3 of them at mousegears about 5 minutes ago.
Following the release of theme park specific magic bands do you know if there are any plans to issue resort specific bands as in the past there used to be resort specific refillable mugs?
Not that I know of at this time, sorry!
Kinda related but mainly to limited release magic bands, can all bands take advantage of “link-it later”? I’m planning on buying bands for my family for Christmas but won’t be any good if I have to link them all when I purchase them.
Yes, any band you buy can be “link it later” when you checkout. Just make sure you tell the Cast Member that you want it set to that.
Can you purchase these new bands online, or are they only available in the parks thus far? I’m particularly looking for the Figment band. Thank you 🙂
Only in the parks right now, sorry!
Thank you for the quick reply. Appreciate it 🙂
Have anyone learned yet if you are able to get the Epcot band outside of the Park. Possibly at Downtown Disney/Magic Kingdom ?
I haven’t heard that just yet. Keep an eye on the comments section as I’m sure someone will confirm it eventually.
They are all available at Downtown Disney
Thanks for the info Josh!
I got the Figment Disney Parks MagicBand at Disney store And I can’t wait to see it!
