ThanksYou probably won't be able to order them with the resort reservation discount, if you've already "used" that discount to buy the older ones, but of course you could buy some non-discounted ones from Shop Disney.
Would be shocked if it wasn't $20+ even on the base model. These aren’t much more sophisticated bar the Bluetooth pairing and rechargeable battery than the wristbands Coldplay gave out free to every ticket holder a few years back on their stadium tour. Bluetooth chips and rechargeable batteries are cheap. There's nothing expensive here component wise, and they'll be manufactured very cheaply.Anyone estimate what the margins are on these?
Yes.Random thought but with them having a charging port etc... are these waterproof?
I found a write-up from wdwnt.com that showed screws on the back of the MB+ just like with regular MBs. They also stated in the write-up that the puck was removable (but didn't show any pictures of it removed).I’m still waiting to find out whether the puck will be removable, so that a watchband slider for it would be feasible!
(Remember when we'd get one included in the cost of the hotel reservation?!)
The video on the WDW website shows an Up and an Iron Man (?) themed band.

If you hover on the image under Be A Part of the Story there's a video.
so is this going to be a nightmare tomorrow trying to secure one? I have a stay at CSR but it's not until Feb, not sure if that will make a difference.
