For anyone that is wondering what the difference is:
For our guests with existing Walt Disney World reservations that want to order MagicBand+:
Resort Guests and Annual Passholders if you have a Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation or an Annual Pass, you may receive a special discount on a customized MagicBand+. Resort Guests qualify for the discount 6 or more days prior to their Resort hotel reservation. Annual Passholders are eligible 6 or more days before their theme park reservation and redeem the discount once during the year of their Annual Pass. Once you receive that offer you will sign in to your Disney account and select My MagicBands and Cards to complete your order. MagicBand+ will be available beginning July 27, 2022.
As a reminder existing MagicBands and Mobile Magic will still work when MagicBand+ is released. Disney has also stated that they will still sell MagicBands once MagicBand+ are released.
