New MagicBand Label Warns Guests Against Implanting MagicBand Chips Under Skin After Someone Actually Did It


Recommended Posts

Last year, James Rosemergy at TouringPlans.com attempted to become a “Disney Cyborg” by having a chip meant to duplicate the functions of a MagicBand implanted in his arm. Though his experiment did not work, he did interview a guest who had a custom chip created from a pre-existing MagicBand surgically implanted in her arm and was successfully able to use it as a MagicBand. In response to these experiments, Disney has added a label to MagicBand boxes warning users not to do this.

The sticker on the inside of a MagicBand box reads “Not for internal or subdermal use.”

I saw this coming when Magic Bands first came out.  With the ability to microchip your dog, it was only a matter of time before people started trying this on themselves. 

I think Disney would be better served, if they instead posted a rule on their website that 'subdermal microchips will not be a valid method of entry, payment or line passing.',  because someone is going to get an implant that is NOT from a Magic Band, but can be programmed to act like one.
