Well… it looks like Disney is just getting more and MORE expensive!
MagicBands!
Prices for Disney World tickets have gone up, prices for Disney World Annual Passes have gone up, and now they are removing an amazing perk that helped save you money on your Disney World vacation! Why Disney, WHY?!
Many perks come with staying in a Disney World hotel! This includes things like close proximity to the park, transportation to the park, early entry and after-hours, and discounted MagicBands. Now, Disney is removing the perk of getting discounted MagicBands.
MagicBand+ in Disney World
Some people were able to get discounted MagicBands yesterday, but as of today, there are no more discounts offered for Disney World hotel guests. However, they aren’t the only ones who lost the discount. This is news we did not want to hear, so we just had to check online, and sure enough…

…the discount is gone. You can see with the Grogu band that the price listed is $44.99. That used to be $34.99, a pretty decent drop in price. This was an amazing perk for guests who chose to stay on property, and especially for families and larger parties!

It wasn’t a typo, unfortunately (we did have our fingers crossed), the discount was gone across all MagicBands.

As for solid MagicBands, there is no discount provided for those anymore, but they sit at a price of $34.99.

We didn’t want to believe it was true, so we even chatted with a Cast Member, who also confirmed with us that this was the new reality. Unfortunately, they removed such a great perk. It was nice for resort guests and Annual Passholders to have access to saving money on MagicBands if they wanted them. MagicBands are very useful when it comes to a Disney World vacation. They can be used to pay, open your hotel room, enter the park, and interact with gold statues around the park. Now guests will need to budget more!
