Finally! MagicBand technology is being tested at Disneyland. We knew it was a matter of time before Disneyland would get MagicBands and it seems as though they will soon be on their way.
The testing happened at Space Mountain. Guests that had a fastpass were escorted off to a separate area and told to scan the barcode of their fastpass on to one of the 2 RFID readers. If the lights turn green they were good to go. There were not actual MagicBands being tested just yet. They are using the RIFD cards right now, but it is the same technology. Disneyland guests are not used to this, they use a ticket that has their return time on it. Sound familiar? I am sure if the testing goes as planned Disneyland will soon have MagicBands or at the very least RFID technology.
MagicBands have been very profitable for Disney World. Just look at all of the specialty and limited edition bands. Along with the accessories like sliders and bandits. Not to mention they have increased the amount that people spend because the MagicBands make buying easy.
As far as Fastpass+ goes there has been no testing with that at Disneyland. Just RFID right now.
