How ya going Dale, I'm happy to welcome you to planDisney!
After living and working in Australia it's always so nice to be able to connect with folks voyaging across the ocean to
Disney Destinations, and am always happy to help out International Disney adventurers in need!
This was a bit of a trickier conundrum than I had expected, and I spent the day reaching out to Cast Members across multiple countries just to confirm the most current information out there. As it turns out, Australian folks and families looking to book their Walt Disney World Resort holiday are currently unable to pre-purchase these to be picked up at the
Front Desk of your Disney Resort Hotel like other international guests can. In fact, some of our friends and family travelling overseas to our Disney Fairy Tale Wedding this year had experienced this first-hand, but we were able to book rooms on their behalf and add them as guests under our reservation. The Cast Members I spoke to were unsure as to whether this is a policy that will continue or be subject to change, but I recommend to everyone travelling from Australia to confirm with a trusted travel advisor before they book just to avoid any disappointment.
Did you know that the wearable pieces of Disney technology known as MagicBands are called Disney Bands internationally? While they haven’t quite made their way across the Pacific Ocean beyond Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa there’s a hope that those
embarking on Disney Magic at Sea voyages will be able to slap one of these on their wrists in the future! Nevertheless, they’re quite ubiquitous here in Florida and you shouldn’t have any trouble finding these in
merchandise locations around Walt Disney World Resort!
Here’s to your future holiday adventures at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
