    I want to buy Magic bands and pick them up when we arrive - how can i do this online?

    Hi there, Jennifer!

    Welcome to planDisney! We're so happy you found your way to our little corner of the magic. I can see you are just a few days away from your visit, so let's hop on that magic carpet and get you all set up for your trip.

    Happy to report that if you are staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, you can have packages (even groceries!) delivered ahead of or during your visit. You'll want to ensure that the name on the order matches the Guest name on your hotel reservation and include your reservation number and check-in date in the delivery instructions. If you are staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel or another hotel in the area, I'd recommend contacting them directly to discuss delivery options. 

    With your trip in just a few days, I would highly recommend waiting until you arrive to purchase your MagicBand+. This would remove any worry about possible shipping delays and the band not quite making it in time This has happened to me, and I ended up buying another one on property anyway! There are many merchandise locations inside and outside of the parks that sell MagicBand+, namely World of Disney in Downtown Disney and any of the resort hotel shops. A Cast Member would also be happy to answer any questions you may have in setting them up. I guarantee there will be a wide selection, so you will find one that fits your Disney personality! 

    If you're worried about a shopping stop slowing you down as you head into the parks, have no fear! Using the Merchandise Mobile Check-Out option in the Disneyland App while you shop at World of Disney, will have you in and out of there with just a quick wave of your own magic wand. Once you have all your items picked out, head into the app, tap the "+" in the bottom navigation bar, and select "Merchandise Mobile Checkout". You'll choose the store you are shopping in and simply scan each barcode. Follow the instructions from there, show your purchase confirmation QR code to a Cast Member before you exit, and away you go!

    Jennifer, I sure hope this was helpful in your planning! I'm excited for your time in the magic this week. Enjoy making those memories, and if you have any more questions, we'd love to hear them!
