Overview
- Disneyland officials confirmed Wednesday that the resort will sunset on-property MagicBand+ sales and sell through remaining stock with no restocks planned.
- Existing MagicBand+ devices will continue to work for park entry, Lightning Lane taps, and interactive features such as Batuu Bounty Hunters, World of Color, and Fantasmic!.
- Guests can still buy MagicBand+ through Walt Disney World, DisneyStore.com, and Disney Cruise Line, with no changes announced for those channels.
- Coverage attributes the change to low West Coast adoption and strong use of Disney MagicMobile on smartphones, in contrast to Walt Disney World's deeper hotel and payment ties to the bands.
- The confirmation followed Monday reporting that shelves were emptying and only a few Disneyland locations still had bands, so visitors who want one should plan ahead or purchase online.
