Let’s face it, not everyone that visits Walt Disney World loves the idea of having to wear a magic band. Some guests prefer to keep them attached to their bags, belt loops, etc. instead of wearing them on their wrist.
Well, it appears Disney listened to guests feedback when they started putting together the Magic Band 2.0, and with the newly redesigned solid color bands, there also comes new options for how to take your magic band around the parks with you.
Currently the bands available are solid colored, just like the original magic bands, but the center “puck” is removable. (The puck is where your MDE and reservation information is stored). You can take your puck out of one magic band and put into into another magic band, or you can purchase one of Disney’s new Magic Keepers, which are a keychain fob that you can insert your puck into.
It seems there are currently two versions of Magic Keepers available at the parks: Mickey and Minnie, or a simple oval to insert your puck into.
Disney states they hope to start rolling out more graphic design magic bands for guests to purchase soon, so we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for those in the near future as well.
Which will you use? The band itself, or will you try out a new Magic Keeper?

When will the new magic bands be available?
The band is fine with me. I put it on and don’t take it off until I leave. I don’t have to remember if I have it with me every morning.
