According to Disney, fans have been requesting for a watch to be added to the functionality of MagicBands for sometime. Disney have listened to this request and have said that two types of watch accessory will be released this summer as MagicBand accessories.
The Minnie Mouse Analog and Digital Display
It is surprising to see that only the Minnie Mouse and digital display will be released for the time being. This essentially means that for any boy or most males, you are going to have to go with the digital display as the option. Slightly disappointing as I don’t particularly like the look of the digital display accessory yet the Minnie Mouse one looks great. Considering that I can just check the time on my iPhone or on any printed receipt for a purchase in Walt Disney World, perhaps this product isn’t for people like me anyway! Even though I don’t need it, I would be tempted if they released a Stitch of Sorcerer Mickey variation of the Minnie Mouse one.
Perhaps this accessory has been put into play for kids more than adults, you can’t imagine why someone might purchase one of these instead of simply looking at their phone.
No prices have been announced at this stage but keep an eye out over the summer for these accessories to be released.
