Hi Stephanie, thank you for stopping by planDisney again. I had the best time on the Disney Wish a week ago using my
MagicBand+ while my wife used her Disney Cruise Line
DisneyBand+ for touch-free entry into our stateroom and contactless payments. Captian Minnie and Captain Mickey really leveled up the sailing experience. Regarding ordering the DisneyBand+ (Disney Cruise Line's version of MagicBand+) let's get you shipshape so you know what to expect.
All Guests, from Concierge to Inside Staterooms, have the same
DisneyBand+ ordering timeline which begins no earlier than 45 days prior to the sailing date. While Concierge Guests have many other benefits (see examples from the
Disney Wish Concierge Staterooms), this particular piece of technology is universal for all. So if your cruise leaves on April 15, 2024, then you would be able to order on March 1, 2024. You should receive an email prompting you to order. Ours was exactly 45 days before our sailing.
While the DisneyBand+ snaps around your wrist securely I have had a couple of experiences where it was able to fall off. I recommend you order some MagicBand Sliders to help lock the band in place. This is especially helpful for little voyagers.
planDisney Pro Tip: DisneyBand+ can be used at
Disneyland Resort and
Walt Disney World Resort as long as they are linked to your account. MagicBand+ may also be used on available Disney Cruise Line ships.
Stephanie, I hope this information helps get ready for that early March DisneyBand+ order. Please stop by planDisney for more tips on sailing the Seven Seas. You may
write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
