    Do you automatically get the magicbands when you purchase WDW tickets or is that now an additional cost? I know I can use my Apple Watch but my family was thinking they wanted a magic band

    Hello again Melissa! 

    Welcome to planDisney with all your wonderful questions! 

    Guests can no longer get to select complimentary MagicBands when they book a stay at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. Guests can however purchase them for a discounted price before they arrive. If purchased beforehand you can use them to access your Resort room door, enter the Parks and Lightning Lane entrances, and even make purchases!  

    I love using my MagicBand and have it in my carry-on luggage ready to put on as soon as we arrive in the Parks or at my Resort. Since I love to pre-purchase them they come already linked to my account and personalized with my name. If you don't like the selections available to you for pre-order then you can wait till you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort and search your Resort gift shop or various merchandise locations throughout the Parks and link them to your account after. Some of my favorite band shopping locations include World of Disney and Disney's Pin Traders in Disney Springs. There are so many designs to choose from that it's hard to pick just one. Luckily, you can have multiple bands linked to your account and wear different ones each day if you like! 

    I hope this helps and you have a magical time!

    Happy Planning!
