MagicBand+ Debuts October 26 at Disneyland

Who’s ready to use MagicBand+ at Disneyland Resort? You are? Good, because MagicBand+ debuts October 26, 2022 at Disneyland!

Disney announced the news on October 12, along with a few other important details, including where and when guests can purchase MagicBand 2.0.

On September 20, Disney teased that MagicBand+ would launch sometime this fall and now we finally have a date.

Starting October 19, eligible Cast Members, Magic Key holders, and Disney Vacation Club members will have the chance to purchase MagicBand+ early from select locations.

In order to purchase, a valid photo ID plus a valid company-issued ID, Disney Vacation Club membership, or Magic Key pass are required.

Come October 26, all guests will be able to buy MagicBand+ at the following locations:

• Downtown Disney: World of Disney, Disney’s Pin Traders
• Disneyland: Emporium, Pioneer Mercantile, Tomorrow Landing (reopening Oct. 26)
• Disney California Adventure: Elias & Co., Trolley Treats, Oswald’s, Seaside Souvenirs
• Hotels of the Disneyland Resort: Disney’s Fantasia Shop, Mickey in Paradise, Acorns Gifts & Goods

We already knew that, like at Disney World, MagicBand+ will interact with select experiences and different nighttime spectaculars.

Disney announced on October 12 that MagicBand+ will add “surprising and magical touches to certain entertainment at Avengers Campus.”

Plus, MagicBand+ will interact with the new Disney100 nighttime shows debuting January 27, 2023 at Disneyland: “World of Color – One” at Disney California Adventure and “Wondrous Journeys” at Disneyland.

And remember that you can use MagicBand+ at both Disneyland and Disney World, with varying features and experiences between the 2 destinations.
