Today, Disney gave us some updates and new looks at their new MagicBands!
Disney loves taking advantage of new technology to change how guests experience the parks.
Scan in!
The My Disney Experience app allows you to do things like look at wait times, maps, menus, and more. And now, with Disney Genie on the app, it can even plan your day for you! Another feature of the app is Disney MagicMobile. This system acts as your ticket and allows you to enter the theme parks, lets you connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account, and gets you into the Lightning Lanes of rides (if you’re using Genie+). And now, MagicMobile has added a new feature!
What’s up DFB friends! It’s time for another edition of what’s new at Magic Kingdom!

This past few days we’ve seen some new foods, more construction, and even the Main Street Philharmonic Band performing in front of Cinderella Castle! Let’s get into it.
It’s time to test your Disney World knowledge — the Price is Right-style!
Time to celebrate!
You might have tried past quizzes about Magic Kingdom attractions or Disney movie trivia, and now it’s time to play a round of the Price is Right with some of Disney World’s most popular souvenirs! We posted some fan-favorite Disney items on our DFB Instagram stories to see if DFB readers knew the prices. Do you think you’re a Disney World price expert? Find out here!
When you enter a Disney Park, you first have to scan your ticket (or MagicBand, or Annual Pass) and your finger to get inside.

If everything goes well, you see a green light and hear a happy chime. In the past, we’ve seen Disney change this sequence on occasion, and now they’re changing it again…but only for a certain group of people! Want to know if you’ll get to see this next time you visit Disney World?
MagicBands may not be free for Disney World Resort hotel guests or Annual Passholders anymore, but there are still LOTS of MagicBands that can be purchased!
Lots of MagicBands to Pick From!
We’ve seen MagicBands featuring retro Disney designs, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and more. Now, select guests have the chance to get 2 fun MagicBand designs at a discount!
We’ve got 18 months to celebrate Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and what a party it’s been so far!

We’ve been enjoying seeing all of the golden statues in the parks, the great new decor, and — of course — eating ALL of the new foods! We’ve also been checking out tons of fun merchandise that has dropped in honor of the big celebration, and today we found one that is taking us waaaaay back!
