Hello friends! We’re back with another DFB Video, and today we’re exploring The Secrets About Disney World’s Magic Bands!!
Farewell IllumiNations MagicBand
In our latest video, we explore the history of MagicBands and debunk a few myths and rumors about MagicBands!
runDisney hosts a few really fun races throughout the year. These races allow guests to push their limits as they race through or around the Disney World parks, often dressed in totally awesome Disney-themed gear!
We always love seeing what themes runDisney will come up with for each race and what the medals for each race will look like!

Back in May, Disney announced that Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests would have the option of upgrading their MagicBand with 30 fun options. Our readers expressed a lot of enthusiasm for this discounted pricing on some of their favorite designs!

Essentially, guests staying at a Disney resort from late-May onward could log into My Disney Experience and choose to upgrade their complimentary solid-colored MagicBands to bands with designs featuring beloved characters, attractions, and more. The cost for doing so was about $15 less than guests would pay for the same bands in the parks.
Happy weekend and Happy Mother’s Day! Here’s all the Disney food news this week!

Disney World Annual Passholders have likewise had the option to select a new MagicBand as they purchase or renew their pass for the year.
