Spoke with another CM. He told me the upgraded Magicbands is not a trial thing. This will be permanent option going forward (for the foreseeable future).
They were just taken by surprise as to how much demand there would be. And he said in a "few weeks" they should be able to catch up on the demand and have lots more selection available. Not sure if what is meant by "few weeks" and if they can truly predict at some point they will have a larger selection always in stock online. They have already created the frenzy ... not sure how they plan to fix this.
When something is perceived as limited in stock or in time then people tend to jump and purchase them even though they don't need them any time soon, or it's something they would normally not have purchased.
They need to do one of two things and they are aware of it. Either they need to:
1. Put in place a 60 day checkin window limit for upgraded Magicbands, or
2. Make sure they are able to keep up with the demand and communicate clearly that this is not a limited time option so people should not rush and settle for whatever selections are currently showing available.
They have NOT done either of these. At this point it seems people are just grabbing whatever they can because they don't know if they will ever get the ones they really want in the next 2 to 12 months.
