![]() ![]() One new item you can do with the MagicBand+ is partake in the “Disney Fab 50 Quest”, a scavenger hunt spread throughout the four Walt Disney World theme parks, allowing the wearer to interact with the 50 golden character statues spread throughout. The new MagicBand+ system will add color changing lights and haptic vibration to the wearable device, which will also be able to recognize certain user gestures, to make the wearable part of the interactive experience. Much like the old MagicBand system, guests will use the wearable device as their admission ticket, a link to the Disney PhotoPass system, a wearable key for room entry to on-site Walt Disney World Resorts, as well as for purchases of food and merchandise items if linked to a credit card. (5/8/22) Walt Disney World has sent out some updated information for the upcoming launch of the MagicBand+ system coming this Summer. ![]() Disney will be charging $34.99 for the new MagicBand+ at select shops located throughout the four Walt Disney World theme parks at various Disney Resorts and at the Disney Pin Traders shop in Disney Springs. ![]() #Walt disney word resort freeUnlike the previous system however, these are not being given out to free to resort guests, so if you want one, it will cost you. The lights on the bands will also light up and flash in sync with the nighttime Harmonious show at Epcot or Disney Enchantment show at the Magic Kingdom. The updated MagicBand will still perform all the same features as the original, but will also offer a few new ways to interact with the resort in combination with mobile apps, such as in the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection game or a Batuu Bounty Hunter mission in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. (7/23/22) Walt Disney World has confirmed that their new MagicBand+ wearable will launch on July 27th. While they have yet to announce an opening date for the new Tron Lightcycle/Run roller coaster at the Magic Kingdom, I suspect it will be ready to open before the end of the 50th Anniversary Celebration event. New verbiage added to the WDW website now says that the 50th Anniversary Celebration will come to an end on March 31, 2023. (9/3/22) If you haven’t had a chance to visit Walt Disney World during their 50th Anniversary celebration, the mouse has now confirmed when the party is going to come to an end. They also believe that the park’s Tike’s Peak play area may have received some minor upgrades. After sitting closed since the start of 2022, it was the general thought that Blizzard would sit closed for the majority of the year before reopening. (9/8/22) Orlando Theme Park News is reporting that Disney’s Blizzard Beach could be ready to reopen to guests sometime between late October or early November, at which time you can expect Typhoon Lagoon to close once again for a winter refurbishment. I’m not sure if this is still a reflection of staffing issues, or if they are instead just pondering an odd future schedule concept of running each park for only 6 months out of the year, with Blizzard in the Fall and Winter and Typhoon in the Spring and Summer. Unfortunately this seems to indicate that Walt Disney World is not quite ready to return to running both waterparks at the same time just yet, despite having amazing attendance in the main theme parks. According to our source Blizzard is likely to shut down once again sometime in March 2023 when they are ready to reopen Typhoon Lagoon once again. Personally, I’ve always preferred the attractions offered at Blizzard Beach to Typhoon myself, but from the sound of things the reopening of Blizzard may be temporary. General Resort News - (9/10/22) According to another Screamscape source, you can look for Typhoon Lagoon to close for a winter rehab at the end of October 29th, which backs up the reports that Blizzard Beach will reopen either just before or after Typhoon Lagoon closes.
