Hello and welcome to
planDisney, Lauren!
Walt Disney World Resort during the Autumn Events and Festivities is brimming with cozy and spooktacular events and activities. Best of all you’ll be in time for the
50th Anniversary Celebration. As one of two fellow Canadians on planDisney, it would be my honour to assist you further, Lauren, thank you so much for stopping by!
MagicBands are such handy devices during our visits, I love the freedom they give me to charge away and not worry about carrying around cumbersome items making my theme park touring so much easier as a Disney Resort Hotel Guest. And now, with the
MagicBand+ you will not only enjoy the traditional entitlements of the standard MagicBand but also many enriching experiences such as haptic vibrations, colour-changing lights and gesture recognition. You can help Tinker Bell bring the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection sculptures to life to evoke different reactions and you will be able to engage during the
Beacons of Magic presentations across all four theme parks and more.
Lauren, to pre-purchase your MagicBand+ before your arrival, you can do so by signing in to your Disney account and accessing
My MagicBands and Cards under the
My Disney Experience planning area. It will be waiting at the Front Desk of your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel at check-in. Or, if you wish you will be able to purchase your MagicBand+ at Walt Disney World Resort and a Cast Member can assist you with the
linking of your MagicBand+ to your Disney account.
While you are in your Disney account, you can easily deactivate your original MagicBand via
My Profile directly beneath your name when you select
My Disney Experience near the top right of the main page. And, while in your Disney account, kindly ensure your Payment Method and any important information is updated to receive email updates for news, information and any periodic applicable special offers.
Tip:Download the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to enjoy many convenient features, such as saving time in lines by purchasing the
Disney Genie+ service, ordering your meal ahead of time with the convenience of
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering and so much more!
Lauren, it was such a pleasure assisting you today - feel free to stop by and ask me for more first-hand tips and advice, especially from the perspective of a fellow Canadian Disney fan and traveller.
Best Disney Wishes!
Jacqueline
