Disney MagicBands are a revolutionary innovation introduced by the Walt Disney Company to enhance the Disney Park experience at its various locations, including Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, and Disney Cruise Line. These MagicBands combine the functionalities of a park ticket, room key, payment device, and personalized souvenir all in one wristband! So it’s no wonder that avid Disney fans are fond of the wrist accessories, which come in various colors, styles, and patterns.

It can be a bittersweet part of your Disney vacation to arrive home with all your magical memories and souvenirs just to pack away your family’s MagicBands, hoping you’ll have a chance to bring them out soon for another round of pixie dust. The good news is that that pixie dust may be a whole lot closer than you think! Because at the online Cinema Guy Store, you can bring some magic from the parks to your own household.

When Guests arrive at a Disney Park, they can effortlessly access all the magic with a simple touch of their MagicBand to a MagicBand reader with a light-up Mickey Mouse design. That seamless experience throughout their vacation can now be mimicked for certain functions in the most avid Disney lover’s home. You can purchase your own MagicBand reader that will interact with your actual Disney MagicBands!

On MagicBandReaders.com, the Classic Reader goes for just under $200. Here’s the product description: “Add some magic to your home with this fully functioning Magic Band Scanner just like you’ve enjoyed at the Theme Parks. These items are fully functioning with lights, sounds, and work with your ACTUAL MAGIC BANDS! It even plays that famous chime that we are all so nostalgic for.”

If you get the “smart outlet upgrade at checkout,” the reader can even control certain low-current household devices! Once plugged into the pre-programmed smart outlets, the Disney MagicBand reader can turn devices on and off. Think lamps, holiday lights, nightlights, and more!

While fans may be thrilled that the reader scans actual MagicBands, those without them don’t have to worry about getting in on the magic. There is an included button to press if you don’t have a MagicBand. With multiple color illuminations, the ability to mount onto a wall, and customization available, this at-home MagicBand reader really will transport you into a Disney theme park.

The designs don’t stop at the classic Mickey head, though! Dozens more designs include Haunted Mansion, Star Wars, Disney Princesses, Marvel, Splash Mountain, the Monorail, Pirates of the Caribbean, Frozen, and more!

Whether it’s entering Disneyland Resort, purchasing merchandise at Disney World retail locations, accessing a hotel room, or now even turning on your child’s nightlight, MagicBands really can do it all! Not only are these bands practical and convenient, but they also add an element of fun and excitement to the Disney experience that Guests can now enjoy at home.

About Lana Porter

Lana has never lost a Disney Trivia night. Maybe it’s the hundreds of times she’s been to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, her love for Disney’s ’90’s era hand-animated musicals, or the fact that she’s often likened to cartoon characters, but Disney and its magic have a special place in her heart. Her favorite Disney experiences include the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, eating Mickey Bars on the PeopleMover, and crying during the Magic Kingdom fireworks show. One day she hopes to be chosen as the rebel spy on Star Tours. When Lana isn’t Park Hopping, she’s at home reading books of all topics, watching her favs on Disney+, or snuggling her two cats, which she swears are not named after Disney characters. She loves surprising people with her knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but admits she is still catching up with Star Wars. She is happy to combine her excitement for writing with her love for Disney-style storytelling and share what she can with the world!
