We have more details on the new Magic Bands that was released this morning at D23’s Destination D event.
The Magic Band 2 is going to be mailed out to Disney World Passholders starting next month, then resort guests will start seeing their new Magic Bands in January 2017. Retail versions of the Magic Band 2 and accessories will also be coming out starting in January as well.
The inner puck that we told you about a few months ago is removable with a special screwdriver that will be shipped with the Magic Bands. This puck can be removed and inserted into New Magic Bands, Accessories such as lanyards , keychains and more.
Other than the new look the Magic Band 2 will function just like the existing Magic Bands. My guess is that the RF transmitter inside is a bit stronger that is why they are changing designs, or there could be a bigger battery inside so that they will last longer than 2 years. This is just my speculation at this point…
What do you think about the new designs? Let me know in the comment box below.
