Is Disney working on a magic band replacement

According to Magic Band Collectors Disney is working on the next evolution of Magic Bands that is similar to the Fitbit Zip Tracker. A post on the FCC’s system for MagicBand ID Q3E-MB-R1G2 website shows this new puck style design that would work with a interchangeable strap. The new system is a cost saving measure as guests could keep the same “puck” and change out straps lowering both IT support costs and the overall cost of shipping new Magic Bands every trip.

This new Magic Band devices are in the testing phase now and what we hear will use a similar rf transmitter as the current devices.

For many of us if you visit the parks regularly your My Disney Experience app is full of vacation Magic Bands and even custom ones like these popular Dooney & Bourke Designer Bands. Disney is hoping these new pucks will help alleviate some of the back-end database clutter and save some money in the long run.

I am just summarizing all of this you can read up on it here, if you are into that sorta thing.

So what do you think? Good idea or are you happy with the Magic Bands we have now?
