Interesting ... makes sense, since the centre "pod" is removable. I wonder if you will be able to customize it as a two-colour band, or if you'll need two bands. :)
These were created in preparation for not needing a band at all, right?
I believe they already have key fob and carabiner style 'puck' holders for sale, so you can go without the band now.Quote:

Not for sale yet - I have seen some upper level management using them (key fob), so my guess is that they are still in beta testing...Quote:

The band I received in the mail did not include a screwdriver. To be fair, I wasn't looking for one. Unless you're talking about accessories coming with a screwdriver.
The pictures I saw were of the bands themselves. The screwdriver would be needed for mix and match.Quote:

I was able to just order my magic keeper
from the shop parks apps. There are three
different ones available. They did not show up
with a search on magic bands, or magic keeper,
but they did show up under "new in parks'. I ordered
the minnie mouse one. My AP discount brought
the price from $12.99 to $10.40 in case anyone was
wondering about the price.
Thanks for this, I've been stalking the app. Have to go order mine now! Dh gave me a small red Coach Disney for Christmas (which I use when we go to dinner there) so I'm getting Minnie too. :blush:Quote:
