Hi Kira and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that your Walt Disney World vacation is coming up in just a couple of months! January is a great time to visit the parks and
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will be in full swing as it starts on January 12th! This is such a fun festival to attend and my favorite part is the
DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series. If you are a fan of Disney musicals on Broadway, these concerts are not to be missed!
MagicBands add a little convenience to any Walt Disney World vacation since they act as your park ticket and your
Disney Resort hotel room key. You can also use them to easily make purchases for merchandise and
Disney dining. If you have MagicBands for both of your Guests, you will not need a physical ticket for them and any ticket affiliation they have linked to their My Disney Experience accounts will automatically be linked to their MagicBands. MagicBands can be purchased in advance on
shopDisney or you can find them all over Walt Disney World in the gift shops at the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and
Disney Springs. If you are Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you have the option to purchase them at a pre-arrival discount and have them shipped to your home. To do this, hover over the "My Disney Experience" tab on the top right of the Walt Disney World website and then click on "
My MagicBands and Cards". Your upcoming stay will be listed at the top with a "Get Started" button for you to click on.
Please
stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
