2016
On September 2nd, 2016 a special MagicBand was released, sold only at the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! paid event in the Magic Kingdom. This MagicBand is Limited Edition to 3000 (from 4000 in 2015, and 5000 in 2014), as Disney has had trouble selling all of the bands at previous parties. Hopefully this will make them a bit more exclusive. It comes in a special box and does make lights and sounds at FastPass+ touch points only in the Magic Kingdom. Price was $32.99 each. Disney’s merchandise SKU barcode for this MagicBand is 400000702629.

any word on if these make any special noise/effect?
I will try an post this weekend if I can find out for sure.
I can’t find a definitive answer about any sounds this LE magic band might make…I so want to know!!!!!
John – I will try to find out this weekend and post a video here if I can!
That’s funny..I bought mine on the 7th and it didn’t make any noise when I used it.
Erin – Where did you use it at? It had to be at the Magic Kingdom only and will only make noises/sounds at a FP+ point, no where else.
i need 6 bands where can buy whith you ?
Sorry, I don’t have any of these for sale.
do you know of anyone selling these (unlinked)?
I actually went to MNSSHP and didn’t think to pick one up – now that I am hooked on collecting bands, kicking myself for not buying when I was there! 🙁
There may be just a handful out there unlinked still. eBay would be your best bet, but make sure the seller promises that they are “link it later” and not just unlinked or deactivated.
Anybody know of any rumors on the mickey’s not so scary 2015 new magic band?
I haven’t heard anything yet Joel, sorry.
Any word on a 2015 MNSSHP edition?
Nothing yet.
. . I’m guessing still nothing ?
Still nothing… though I heard a merchandise blog post from Disney Parks Blog should be coming in the next few days. Hopefully we’ll know for sure then.
Check for a news post I just posted.
Do you know if these sold out before the last week of October last year? Assuming they do release them again this year, i’d love to snatch one.
No, they had plenty left. They ended up in the Disney outlet stores throughout 2015 because they didn’t sell them all.
Have you heard of they are doing the special magic name this Halloween?
I haven’t heard anything about one yet, sorry! Keep watching the site to see if news is announced.
Will this make noise at the FP+ touch points in Magic Kingdom year round?
Yep! See: https://www.magicbandcollectors.com/extras/fp-videos/
Does the special effects end when MNSSHP ends?
Nope, I am pretty sure they last all year!
If I purchased this last year in September will it still work for my December trip?
Yep!
Mine stopped showing the special effect at the MK touchpoints this trip, along with my SWW 2015 magicband (at DHS). Very disappointed!
Any word when 2016 magic bands will be available? And if so, where do you purchase them?
No announcement yet. You would have to buy them in select shops at the party only.
Last year I got the very last magic band they had I have yet to link it but when I go next week I’m going to I’m super happy
Can anyone tell what the noise for the 2016 one is? I replayed the video many times to hear it but I still can’t figure it out.
The Haunted Mansion guys singing a line from the song in the Halloween parade.
What line is he singing? I have the band and still can’t understand either?
