Greetings Ben, and welcome to planDisney!
I am so glad you found us here at planDisney with your all-important planning question. MagicBands are the ultimate vacation accessory. I have over 50 active
MagicBands listed in the My Disney Experience app. Each one is a reflection of my personality. So I completely understand the need to have a particular MagicBand.
The selection of MagicBands offered at the pre-arrival discounted price is constantly changing. The inventory consists of limited release and exclusive MagicBands with a limited stock of solid color MagicBands. There is just no way to know when a new MagicBand or particular color will be added to the line-up. You also have the option to order a MagicBand online from
shopDisney, if you see something that interests you other than a solid blue MagicBand. They would need to be linked to your My Disney Experience account before use.
You do have some time before your order needs to be finalized. If you place your order at least 11 days before your arrival, your MagicBands will be shipped to your home. If your order is placed anywhere from 6-10 days before your trip, your MagicBands will be waiting for you at the Front Desk when you arrive. You can also wait until you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort and purchase a MagicBand from a retail shop in a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel shop, select retail shops in Disney Springs, or any of the Disney Theme Parks. Unfortunately, if you purchase them online or on Disney property, you will not receive the pre-arrival discount.
As of today, there are a few blue MagicBands but none like those depicted on the MagicBands and Cards page. There is, however, the WDW 50th pre-arrival exclusive MagicBand with a special 50th Anniversary slider! Choosing just one MagicBand is never an easy decision. I wish you luck in whatever you decide.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
