The new MagicBand+ will allow Guests to interact with the Fab50 character statues that can now be found in ALL 4 of the Theme Parks.  Check out how preparation can already be seen for the MagicBand+ in the Parks HERE.

This newly designed band will also light up and even vibrate depending on where you are located in the Parks. We have seen testing of the new MagicBand+ interacting with 50th Anniversary statues and also in the new Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunter interactive experience.
