Disney World has welcomed some major changes recently, and Disney wants to know what you think about them!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

While it can do the things a regular MagicBand can do, it can also interact with the 50th Anniversary statues, unlock a special Star Wars scavenger hunt, and more. But if you ordered a MagicBand+ to be sent to your home ahead of your upcoming Disney World hotel stay, you might encounter a problem.
