Disney allowed passholders to request a complimentary MagicBand when they purchased a pass or renewed their pass. But in an email Tuesday to passholders, Disney said that would be coming to an end. The update was also posted on the Disney World website.
“We will no longer be offering complimentary MagicBands with annual pass purchases and renewals made August 16, 2021 and beyond,” read the notice on the website.
However, passholders will still be able to purchase new MagicBands at a discount and use their current MagicBands during visits.
The change comes after Disney launched a new contactless service called MagicMobile. With the new service, guests can enter Disney World theme parks using their mobile devices.
Disney World previously discontinued complimentary MagicBands for resort guests earlier this year.
