We just covered how MagicBand+ was spotted at Disney Springs but it seems like this was a mistake as Disney has now removed the bands from stores as shown in a tweet from reporter Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) below:
Disney says a limited number of MagicBand+ bands were sold earlier today. They removed the bands from the store and are offering refunds. MB+ features/in-park experiences are not live and are planned to launch later this year. Details (and a launch date) will be revealed later.

As you can see, MagicBand+ functionality is not integrated into the Park yet so it makes sense as to why these were removed. Hopefully, we will see the official release of MagicBand+ soon.
