Hi Laura! Welcome to planDisney!
One of my favorite things to do once arriving on site for a Disney vacation is slipping on my
MagicBand+ knowing that I will be using it for practically everything I do. This includes scanning into each of the theme parks, using it for entry at my Disney Resorts hotel, and for purchases around the parks and resorts. It allows me to venture around without having to lug around a wallet, room keys, or park tickets.
Laura, when purchasing a
MagicBand+ on the shopDisney website, personalization is not available. You'll need to link these bands to your My Disney Experience account once purchased and choose which Guest each band is associated with. While you may not be able to personalize these, there will be countless options to choose from on the website.
If you plan to stay at a
Disney Resorts hotel during an upcoming stay, you can purchase MagicBands through your reservation. These bands will be customizable and you'll have the option to include your name on the back of the band. These bands will also be linked directly to the Guest upon purchase, so you can skip this step once you receive them. To purchase these types of MagicBands, once you have an active resort reservation, log on to your
My Disney Experience account. You'll see an option to purchase new bands once you access your reservation.
Laura, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney with any additional planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Greg
