In a rumor article on Monday, April 27, we reported that the sale of MagicBand+ at Disneyland Resort may be coming to an end. Now it seems that it is true, per an update from Scott Gustin on X.

Disneyland Eliminating MagicBand+ Sales

According to Gustin, Disneyland Resort is ending MagicBand+ sales on property. Although MagicBand+ will no longer be sold at Disneyland Resort locations, guests will still be able to use them for interactive experiences such as Batuu Bounty Hunters.

There are also currently no changes at Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Cruise Line, or the online Disney Store. Guests will still be able to purchase MagicBand+ at all three, Gustin notes.

MagicBand+ was introduced at Disneyland Resort in October 2022, but it never achieved the utility it has at Walt Disney World. At Disneyland, the wristband could be used for park entry and Lightning Lane redemption — and that was about it, save for some cosmetic lighting and vibration effects that would occur on certain attractions, during shows, and at designated interactive spots.

Tapstiles were only just installed at Disney California Adventure and Disneyland in Spring 2025. Last summer, MagicBand+ tap spots were added around Disneyland Park for the 70th Anniversary celebration.

Meanwhile, at Walt Disney World, MagicBand+ can be used as a hotel room key and to charge purchases, in addition to park and Lightning Lane entry. MagicBand+ wristbands can also be used on Disney Cruise Line as a stateroom key and for payment onboard and on the private islands.

We don’t know whether a replacement interactive option for the tapstiles and tap spots will be introduced.
