What a load of ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ considering they have just released a load of new designs! They are available now, are being used now and you are entitled to buy one in MDE if you wish. The person simply hasn't got a clue. I would make a polite complaint saying the staff need to be told they are still available and are most definitely not a thing of the past until they stop manufacturing them which they obviously have not.

2) open chrome, then open "new incognito window", this ensures that your regular cookies wont interfere
3) go log onto MDE
4) shop

When you are done, disconnect the VPN. Note! Not all VPNs will work, some are actively blocked by companies (netflix and disney+ sometimes block my PIA but there are lots of endpoints to choose from so I can usually use Netflix and Disney+ pretending to be in another country)
Looks to be sold out now 😩

They were probably referring to free Magic Bands being a thing of the past and plastic tickets being issued instead, which is indeed the case.

I see you have edited the bit telling me to calm down. One, don't tell me what to do. Two, they said magic bands are a thing of the past. They are not. Three, a lot of people have told them there is a problem and they are ignoring it instead of saying we will check with I.T. for you. Four, anytime you have responded to a post of mine, you basically have a pop at me. Just because you don't like what someone has to say, doesn't mean you have to have a dig at them. Scroll on or put them on your ignore list, which i am going to do with you.

I have VPN 360 downloaded on my phone, just turn it on and then go into MDE and look for the magic band bit on the app (under hotel details I believe) and choose and pay. The only thing I made sure was that the card I wanted to pay with was already saved on my MDE profile rather than adding it on the payment page. 4 bands ordered for $10 each.

So this is their response …
Guests can no longer personalize their MagicBands. If you booked your 2021 holiday before 24th June 2020, you can pick up your MagicBand when you check-in at your Resort. Otherwise, you can purchase a MagicBand from your Disney Resort hotel or from World of Disney including limited-edition and custom designs.
Looks like only US get discounted options 🤬😡 need to sort out a VPN me thinks !
