The newest generation of Disney’s MagicBand will be known as the MagicBand+, and they’re adding a ton of fun features that will add to the whole Disney World experience! We already shared that the new service would be making its way to Disney World, but now, let’s look at some of the details. Let’s get into it!
The current generation of MagicBands are a wearable way to enter your Disney World hotel room, pay for things around the parks, enter what used to be a FastPass+ lane, and more. The MagicBand+ will be a whole new way to interact with Disney World, with features like haptic vibrations, color-changing lights, and even gesture recognition!

Some of the new MagicBand+ features Disney has announced include being able to pretend to be a bounty hunter in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where guests will be able to find virtual bounties.

The MagicBand+ will also interact with the gold 50th anniversary statues, which are located throughout all four Disney World parks.

And at night, the MagicBand+ will actually light up in sync with the new fireworks shows, including Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom and Harmonious at EPCOT!

This is all a part of the metaverse that Disney is pushing to create. The newest MagicBand generation will launch beginning in 2022, with opportunities for discounts and pre-arrival prices for guests staying at Disney World Resort hotels, as well as Annual Passholders. And if this new technology isn’t your thing, you can keep your current generation of MagicBand too. Keep reading DFB for more Disney World news!
