Guests now have a new option to create and personalize retail MagicBands at Walt Disney World Resort. We recently opened a new retail MagicBand on Demand station inside the Tomorrowland Power & Light Co. location near Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom Park. This new option for guests is similar to the D-Tech on Demand boutique first introduced in June 2014 at the Marketplace Co-Op in Disney Springs Marketplace (as seen in this video).
Retail MagicBand on Demand Opens in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park CAPTION
At the Tomorrowland location, you may choose to create either a retail MagicBand or a D-Tech phone case. If creating a retail MagicBand, we offer your choice of eight different MagicBand colors including purple.
There are also approximately 40 graphics to apply to your custom MagicBand. There will be a few MagicBand graphics that will only be found in this location that salute classic Magic Kingdom Park attractions and icons (the first image in this story has a few examples).
In addition to artwork, the retail MagicBand can be personalized with a name printed on the outside.
Once designed, the retail MagicBand is printed in the location. The printers use UV ink which dries immediately and requires no cooling time.
For the final step, the custom retail MagicBand can be either associated to your My Disney Experience account, or you can give it as a gift to friends or family who may be visiting Walt Disney World Resort soon.
Retail for a custom retail MagicBand is $21.95 while a personalized retail MagicBand is $29.95.

Of course, the question I'm asking (and the one I'm assuming everyone is asking) ... can I just order purple through MDE, or can I only get a purple one if I pay to "make my own"?

Okay, I kind of like this. Of course it's a money grab, but the designs are pretty cool.

Not at last check when we ordered about four weeks ago. Always thought purple would be a cool addition. I could understand how they'd want to make it a "premium" color.

Leave it to Disney to find a way to make more money on something you already bought! Cool commemorative idea though!

My thoughts haven't changed on this (from the gibits they released.) Horrible money grab.
And yes, same question as Heather. I want t a purple one...that comes with a reservation. I don't want my name plastered all over it.

As of 5 minutes ago, purple is still NOT and option for a standard band. DW soooo wants a purple one this time.

Just a tip... A google search on magic bands will bring up a few companies that do skins for your existing magic bands. Might be a cheaper way to personalize stuff you already have....

I see a money grab as something that you have to pay for that you used to get without paying extra. You still get the basic bands. If you want the "extra," then you pay.
I really like the bottom designs. I have no problem with paying for something like that as long as prices are within the range of a souvenir bracelet.
. It's like I have to say that I really like these designs -- they're more like souvenir bracelets than

The designs are pretty cool but I don't see myself spending the extra money for something I would only wear while at Disney World.

Has anyone done this? Do they stay on well or peel off? There are some really good designs at http://www.magicyourband.com and that was the first one I looked at. Great idea John!
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow!

Amen. Plus something that gets all scuffed up, and dirty. That is basically disposable.

Yeah, the prices are steep. I think $19.95 is the maximum price these should be. $15 is more around a price I would be willing to pay.
