Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Les!
Thank you for taking the time to send us your very first question. It is a pleasure to help you plan pixie-dusted memories for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort adventure!
I am happy to hear you will stay in the middle of the magic at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. I am a big fan of
Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and one of my favorite Guest benefits while staying at this Disney Resort hotel is taking advantage of complimentary transportation. I love using the
Disney Skyliner and gliding across the sky to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I also enjoy the proximity to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort (take a walk over to
Landscape of Flavors to try some of their delicious offerings), the beautiful resort grounds, the walking/jogging trail, and how the resort takes you on a journey back in time through different decades.
Please note that it is currently not possible for international Guests, including visitors from Canada, to purchase a
Disney Band online and have it delivered to their Disney Resort hotel. You are welcome to buy Disney Bands when they arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort, and you will find them available at several merchandise locations, including
Everything POP shop at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Disney Bands are also available at the theme parks and Disney Springs.
Even if you do not have a Disney Band waiting for you upon arrival, do not worry! There are different ways you can access the magic before finding the perfect Disney Band to call yours. I suggest creating a
Disney MagicMobile pass using the My Disney Experience mobile app and linking it to your digital wallet. You can then use the pass with an eligible iPhone, Apple Watch, or Android Phone and enjoy the same functionalities of a Disney Band. If you use
Direct-to-Room service, you will not have to stop by the Front Desk when arriving at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
Another option is visiting the Front Desk when you arrive and requesting a Key to the World Card.
While looking for the perfect Disney Band, I recommend checking the store at your Disney Resort hotel and merchandise locations at the parks, like the Emporium at Magic Kingdom Park and Creations Shop at EPCOT. If you are visiting Disney Springs, check out options available at
World of Disney store,
Marketplace Co-Op – D-Tech on Demand,
Disney’s Pin Traders,
Once Upon a Toy, and Star Wars fans must stop by
Star Wars Trading Post.
I hope these tips help you find the perfect Disney Band, Les. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have an unforgettable visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
