Hello there, Simon!
Now, like Disney’s
Snow White, I don’t want you singing, “Some day my [
Disney bands] will come.” Given how quickly your vacation is coming up, I don’t recommend ordering Disney bands through
shopDisney and shipping them to your home address. Instead, I recommend purchasing the Disney bands when you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort since you can purchase them at
Disney Springs, Disney Resort hotels, and the four theme parks.
It’s super easy to link your Disney bands to your My Disney Experience account via the My Disney Experience
mobile app. Once you open the app, select the three horizontal bars in the bottom right corner of the screen and select “MagicBands and More.” From there, follow the instructions to link the Disney band to your account by tapping the Disney band scanner to the back of your mobile device.
If you don’t think you’ll have time to purchase a Disney band before hitting the theme parks, you can also use another mode of entry-
the Disney MagicMobile service. I always have Disney MagicMobile service set up on my mobile device, even if I have my Disney band on me. You can add it to your account by selecting the three horizontal bars in the bottom right corner of the screen and “Disney MagicMobile.” On the next screen, you can follow the instructions to set up the pass. After all of these planning steps, you’ll be one of the fairest Walt Disney World Resort vacation planners of them all.
May the magic be with you!Melanie
