    do I get a complimentary magic band with a purchase of a magic band?

    Hello Miranda, and welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for stopping by. It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow Floridian. I hope you’re having a truly magical day!

    MagicBand+ is such a fun addition to any Walt Disney World Resort vacation, letting you fully immerse yourself in the magic. I especially love the special effects during Happily Ever After at Disney's Magic Kingdom. The MagicBand+ truly makes you feel like part of the show! It's also fun to wave your MagicBand at the gold statues throughout the parks, as something special may happen. The convenience of scanning for Lightning Lane entrances, Memory Maker, and theme park entry is fantastic. Plus, the wide variety of creative designs is an added bonus.

    Currently, no discounts are offered for MagicBands, as the Walt Disney World Resort hotel guest discount was discontinued in late 2025. You can still pre-order MagicBands through My Disney Experience. Just log into your account, select 'My MagicBands and Cards,' click 'Get Started,' and follow the prompts. I recommend allowing at least eleven days for shipping before your vacation to ensure your MagicBands arrive on time. 

    If you prefer not to use a MagicBand, you can request a Key to the World Card from a Cast Member at your Disney Resort hotel's front desk, or use MagicMobile on your phone for another convenient option.

    I hope this information has helped, Miranda, and that you have the most amazing time at The Most Magical Place on Earth.

    Your personal planning companion, 
    Michelle
