Hi Perry,
Welcome to planDisney! It's always a treat to assist a fellow Canadian, thanks for asking a question about Disney Bands. Over the years, my family has collected a few
Disney Bands, they are a great way to add convenience to a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I love how a Disney Band lets you enter Disney theme parks, unlock a Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door, link photos captured by
PhotoPass photographers, tap into Lightning Lane entrances and much more.
As you mentioned, unfortunately, at this moment, Disney Bands cannot be shipped to Canada. However, I'm happy to share that Disney Bands are carried at shops all over Walt Disney World Resort in theme parks, resorts and
Disney Springs. Once you have chosen the perfect Disney Band, you can link it to your profile in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Since you are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can have a credit card on file with your account. This will allow you to use your Disney Band for purchases and payments throughout Walt Disney World Resort. To add a credit card, you can visit the Front Desk of your hotel at any point during your stay. I like to make sure this is set up at check-in so I can begin using my Disney Band for purchases right away. If you would like to use the same credit card for both you and your wife, please mention this to the Cast Member assisting you at the Front Desk and they can make the magic happen!
One of my favourite features of the new DisneyBand+ is how it lights up in sync with the magic of nighttime spectaculars. You'll also catch it glowing and interacting with the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection statues throughout the parks, bringing some extra sparkle to your day. To keep my DisneyBand+ working smoothly, I make sure to charge it overnight, so it's fully powered up and ready for when I hit the theme parks in the morning!
I hope this information helps with your vacation planning, Perry. Wishing you a magical summer vacation at Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any other vacation planning questions, please
let me know - I'm happy to help!
Enjoy making magical memories,
Candace
