Can you guess what the new color is? It’s a color that has been requested over and over by guests. That’s right; Disney is finally making purple MagicBands available! So there will be a lot of excited people, myself included.
According to Disney Parks Blog, purple was the most requested color of the fall. So in response to the requests they will be making the color purple a choice for MagicBands in certain retail locations. They’ve had purple available with designs, but the solid purple is what people have wanted. Look for purple MagicBands in late December.
Another MagicBand that will be released is a Sorcerer Mickey design with 2016 on it and it will be available in pink and blue. These MagicBands will be available on January 1, 2016.
Disney also announced that they will be adding some designs to the Tomorrowland Light & Power Co., where guests can custom make their own MagicBands. One of the new designs is of the popular Orange Bird.
New purple retail MagicBands & more are coming to Walt Disney World Resort! https://t.co/4g3BvOlHrK pic.twitter.com/op9p8HvS3w

There is no word yet as to whether the purple MagicBand will be available as an option when guests are booking their vacation. As of right now it is not an option, but we can hope!
Is anyone else as excited as I am that we will finally be able to have a purple MagicBand?
Thanks for reading!

Do u think they will have Christmas magic bands
Hi Jackson!
I know they have one that is available at the Christmas party, but it looks like there is a holiday sweater themed one that was released as well. It’s red and white and has Mickey on it.

I hope they will add it as an option when you book your vacation.
Me too, Angie!
I have a vacation booked in March. As of now it is not an option with booking on My Disney Experience. I am very disappointed. I don’t even want the retail one, because hey still don’t have names on them, plus I am not paying extra when I get one with my already paid for trip. Purple seemed like a no brainer to me from the beginning, I can’t believe Disney never had purple from the beginning. I think gray can be eliminated. Of all of the bands available, only one color is “girly”. Very disappointed in Disney. I am sure if was a money decision to get people to pay for other ones instead.
Hi Pamela!
I’m hoping they offer it with booking soon too. I agree, I’m not sure why it wasn’t an option from the beginning.
