Free MagicBands are Already Officially GONE From Disney World!
Well, today’s the day. There’s been a BIG change to the way you’ll prep for your Disney vacation.

Last June, Disney announced that complimentary MagicBands would be discontinued in January 2021 in favor of expanded smart device capabilities. Now that day is here, free MagicBands are a thing of the past!
MagicBands have been available for purchase for a while now throughout Disney World, but guests could always opt instead to receive a complimentary solid color MagicBand. January 1st is the first official day that resort guests will not receive a free solid color MagicBand prior to their Disney trip. Instead, a Disney trip will rely on the My Disney Experience app and Keys to the World cards.

But we noticed TODAY, December 31st, that the new prices have gone live online! Guests with 2021 Disney World vacations can now purchase solid colored MagicBands at a Special Pre-Order Price of $5 each. The solid color MagicBands normally retail for $14.99.

The solid colors guests are familiar with are now incorporated in the lineup for MagicBands available for purchase, including Pink, Red, Green, and more. Guests can filter by color to select the MagicBand they wish to purchase.

If you prefer a MagicBand with a design for your upcoming vacation, they are also available for purchase as a “Pre-Arrival Exclusive,” also at a special pre-order price. For example, we spotted this Character Autographs MagicBand available for $15, normally retailing for $24.99.

Prices range depending on the design. We found a Mickey Rainbow MagicBand currently available for a Special Pre-Order Price of $7.

Also available as a “Pre-Arrival Exclusive” MagicBand is a Happily Ever After design for $20, which normally retails for $29.99.

As a reminder, you can still purchase MagicBands and they will still be fully functional as a vacation tool while in Disney World. We can also still expect to see new MagicBand designs released and available in retail locations, like we noticed today with the new Pink Glittery MagicBand.
