Hi there, Michael! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with such a great question!
Woohoo! In just a couple of weeks, you'll be flying south and excitedly embarking on your winter
Walt Disney World adventure. And since you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel, your planning is off to a practically perfect start. As someone who has a collection of Disney Bands and loves how convenient and easy they make it to tap into the parks and make purchases, I understand why you want this oh-so-magical accessory. Now, let's tie up your loose planning ends and chat about getting you one!
It sounds like you're already aware that, unfortunately, at this time,
Disney Bands can't be shipped internationally. And while I hate to be the bearer of more not-so-magical news, at this time, Canadian Guests are also unable to pre-order Disney Bands to be sent to their Disney Resort. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." Once you arrive at Walt Disney World, you will find a seemingly endless variety of adorable Disney Bands for purchase at the Resort gift shops and various merchandise locations in the theme parks.
Once you find your perfect, pixie-dusted Band, simply follow the instructions on the packaging to link your Band to your
My Disney Experience account using the My Disney Experience app. Then, you'll be able to use your Band to tap into your room, the theme parks and Lightning Lane entrances, as well as make purchases. Happy tapping!
Michael, you could not be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth at a more magical time. The
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts (my very favorite fest) will be in full swing by the time you arrive. This festival is so interactive, creative, fun and delicious. The Food Studios will be serving up true works of art, and with so much to do, see and taste, I recommend checking out the
Disney Eats: EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Foodie Guide 2025 to make your must-have list. Yummy!
While this probably isn't the answer you were hoping for, Michael, I hope it was at least helpful. Wishing you warm weather and magical memories! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have. You've got a friend in planDisney!
Blue skies and sunshine,
Mandy
