Hello Elaine, and welcome to planDisney.
Oh boy, Elaine! With your holiday date rapidly coming up in September, you can finally say "
I'm going to Walt Disney World Resort next month!" Now doesn't that just sound so tiggerifically good?! Your whole family of 5 Mouseketeers must be so excited now your trip is getting closer and closer...
As the current
UK-based Panelist here at planDisney, I'm able to fully understand the Guest experience of visiting the
UK-based Walt Disney Travel Company website where Guests like you and I book, and plan our Disney holibobs.
Elaine, I'm able to share that at present, Guests who access the
UK-based Walt Disney Travel Company website are not currently offered the option to order pre-arrival MagicBands. This of course helps to explain why you've seen a notification stating '
Out of region' when trying to access the pre-arrival MagicBand ordering section.
I know this isn't quite the news you were wishing to hear Elaine. However, please know I'm more than happy to share that upon arrival at Walt Disney World Resort, Guests are welcome to choose to purchase
MagicBands, or indeed the all-new MagicBand+ from almost any merchandise location on Disney property. From my own experience, I can say that it's honestly super fun to discover a pixie-dusted plethora of MagicBands and MagicBand+ designs to choose from upon arrival at the most magical place on earth.
As the all-new
MagicBand+ only launched a few days ago on July 27th, 2022, I thought you'd perhaps find this recent Disney Parks Blog article to be a really useful planning resource for your upcoming holiday on September 4th.
Should you have any follow-up or additional questions for me concerning your September plans to holiday at Walt Disney World Resort, then please do drop back to
me here at planDisney.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
