Hi Laura, and welcome back to planDisney! Christmastime is my favorite season to visit Disneyland, with the sparkling holiday decorations in the theme parks and resort hotels. So, let’s figure out when you can secure your Christmas-themed
MagicBand for your trip!
Unfortunately, it’s hard to predict when Christmas merchandise will go on sale, but last year, there were some holiday items that appeared at Disneyland stores, like
World of Disney, towards the end of October, as well as on the
Disney Store website. Additional merchandise did appear on shelves throughout November, so it’s hard to say exactly when Christmas-themed MagicBands will become available. I’d recommend keeping an eye on Disneyland stores and the Disney Store website as we get closer to November.
This holiday season is a great time to get a brand new MagicBand+ because there are
special touchpoints to find during the
70th celebration! There are five different locations where you can tap your MagicBand+ to reveal a surprise inspired by some of Disneyland’s opening-day attractions.
I’m super excited for all of the
special festivities beginning on November 14th for the holiday season at Disneyland! I love the seasonal attraction overlays, like
Haunted Mansion Holiday,
“it’s a small world” Holiday (I’m obsessed with the mashup of “it’s a small world” and Christmas carols!),
Mater’s Jingle Jamboree, and
Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl.
There’s also going to be seasonal entertainment, including
A Christmas Fantasy Parade,
“Believe…In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular,
World of Color - Season of Light, and
Disney ¡Viva Navidad!.
I hope you have a magical visit to Disneyland this December and find the perfect MagicBand+ to get you into the Christmas spirit! And if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome at planDisney.
