I really don't get why Disney are introducing these. Ever since I spotted these last week I've been thinking they really missed the point of revising the magic band.

They've made it with a removable 'Puck' but so what.
Its made the magic band fatter, more bulky.
It still doesn't have a replaceable battery so hasn't addressed the environmental issues of the disposable bands.
Its coloured and visible , so even though you can swap it into other accessories, your still stuck to just one colour. I would have thought the most likely reason people would want to swap it would be to have different colour bands/accessories to 'co-ordinate'.
I doubt there's any cost reduction for Disney, I suspect the puck and band will cost more to manufacture since the 2 separate elements now need screwing together.
Plus, surely the pucks become a choking hazard.

I just don't get it
