Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Mary. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you'll be visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort this holiday season! You're sure to have a fa-la-la-la-fabulous trip.
I love wearing a
MagicBand+ for my family's Disney vacations. Not only is it a cute accessory, it's also super functional! I can use my MagicBand+ to tap into the turnstiles at the theme parks (with valid admission, of course), open my Disney Resort hotel room door, charge food and merchandise purchases to my room folio, link Disney PhotoPass photos to my account, and interact with select experiences in the theme parks! If you had your heart set on a MagicBand instead of a MagicBand+ for your upcoming stay, I'm sorry to tell you that they are no longer available for the pre-arrival selection available to Guests of the Disney Resorts Collection. But not to fret! It's
possible that you may find MagicBands available for purchase in merchandise locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. I will say that I wasn't initially a fan of MagicBand+ (it felt a bit bulky on my small wrist), but I've grown to love the MagicBand+ for its enhanced capabilities. You may too!

Your Ultimate Holiday Guide for Everything Walt Disney World before your arrival next month. It has all the tips and information you need to plan a very merry visit!
I hope this was helpful, Mary. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
