Hi Laice,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm excited to hear that you're planning a magical visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth to kick off a new year! That sounds practically perfect in every way to me!
Are you staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel? If so, you'll be able to
order discounted MagicBands online through My Disney Experience. You may also use the handy dandy
My Disney Experience mobile app by clicking the three horizontal lines, choosing "Resort hotel," and scrolling down until you see "Choose MagicBands." If you're staying elsewhere, Hakuna Matata...no worries, as you'll still be able to purchase MagicBands ahead of time. You'll simply want to visit
ShopDisney where there are dozens of adorable options. If you don't happen to see one that you'd love, there are also MagicBands for sale at retail locations all around the Resort. Once you have your MagicBands, it's easy peasy to
link them to your My Disney Experience account and begin using them right away.
I love expressing my Disney style with a MagicBand, but did you know that there's also a way to use your smart device to access the parks?
Disney MagicMobile works much like a MagicBand, and the great thing is that they're completely interchangeable. Please feel free to use whatever works best for you during your visit!
Thanks so much for visiting us at planDisney, Laice, and please let us know if we can help with anything else as you're thinking through the details of your visit. I hope you have a truly magical vacation next January!
Missy
