Walt Disney World announced in an email to Annual Passholders that they would no longer receive complimentary MagicBands.
Complimentary MagicBands will be discontinued for Annual Passes purchased and renewed on August 16, 2021, and beyond. Annual Passholders will still get a special discount on MagicBands.
This announcement comes after the new MagicMobile service was rolled out, allowing guests to use their smartphone as their park ticket. New MagicMobile animated tickets featuring Orange Bird and Figment will be coming soon exclusively for Annual Passholders.
Complimentary MagicBands were also discontinued for resort guests earlier this year. Guests may still purchase and use MagicBands to enter the parks as well as their resort hotel rooms.
