While MagicBands have been a Disney World staple since 2013, they have never held the same importance and popularity in Disneyland.

In fact, Disneyland has only had MagicBands since 2022, and now there are rumors that they will be leaving again soon. Here’s everything we know.
Disneyland never received the original iteration of the MagicBand system; instead, they have only ever used the upgraded MagicBand+ that got implemented in 2022. However, after only four years, rumors are spreading that MagicBand+ is slowly on its way out at Disneyland.

Currently, guests can only purchase MagicBand+ at three locations across Disneyland.
- Elias & Co. at Disney California Adventure
- Emporium at Disneyland Park
- World of Disney at Downtown Disney
According to Scott Gustin, Disneyland has officially confirmed that on-property sales of MagicBand+ are going to end.

With continued speculation that they will be selling their current supply, without plans to order additional stock. Now, this apparent removal of the system does not have an impact on the guests yet. Disneyland guests can still use their MagicBand+ to get into the parks and take part in the interactive elements, such as Batuu Bounty Hunters.

However, we don’t know how this will change if they stop being sold. The system may remain in place; you just won’t be able to buy additional bands. Scott Gustin says that Disneyland officials have said that the experiences will continue to operate, even without the sale of the bands.

Could you please answer my question. I have an old magic band from my holiday back in 2023, I am making another visit next year 2027. Is it possible to replace the battery so I can still use it rather than having to buy a new one
Thank you
Hi Christine! I still have MagicBands that I bought back in 2019 that I use regularly so you should be fine!
Thank you
