LOS ANGELES — Disneyland Resort visitors will soon get to wear a wristband that can give them access to the park, help them to skip long queues and pulse and glow to the beat of the nighttime light shows.
The MagicBand+, a wristband that contains microchip technology, will debut for the first time at the Anaheim resort this fall, after launching earlier this summer at Walt Disney World in Florida. Disney executives have in the past suggested that an earlier version the MagicBand wouldn't be very popular at Disneyland because most visitors are locals who don't stay at Disney hotels, where the band would be most heavily used.
A price for the MagicBand+ at Disneyland was not disclosed, but it costs Walt Disney World visitors $45. Once they launch at Disneyland, the MagicBand+ wristbands bought for Walt Disney World can be used at Disneyland.
