So this might not be a full real thing but my dad was talking to a Cast Member at a register the other day. Mainly just that he had just been at the same store when I was buying a MagicBand not too long ago. He called the MagicBand dumb and pointless as a joke. But than the cast member told him it wouldn’t be as useless since they would be required for every guest by the end of the year. Take this with a very heavy grain of salt since it would be a very risky move on Disneys end. But I have heard that the cost of MagicBand’s development and implementation has been very high and this would be a very good way to recoup all their losses but than again, very risky.
