Welcome to planDisney, Amanda! How exciting that your trip to Walt Disney World is getting closer every day. Part of the fun of planning is choosing your
MagicBand+ before you arrive, so let's chat about when you can expect to receive them if you decide to order them now!
If you order your MagicBand at least 11 days before your arrival, it will be shipped to your home at the time of ordering. If you decide to order your MagicBands right now, they will likely arrive at your home in about a week! Once shipped, you'll get tracking information so you can keep an eye out for their arrival. You still have plenty of time to decide, though! You can order MagicBands up to 6 days before your arrival, and if you place that order between 6 and 10 days before you check in, they'll be sent to the front desk of your
Disney Resort Hotel instead of being shipped to your home address.
If you've chosen a MagicBand+, get ready for some extra magic on your trip! These bands light up and vibrate during nighttime spectaculars like
Fantasmic! and
Happily Ever After, interact with
golden character statues around the parks, and even let you play Batuu Bounty Hunters in Galaxy's Edge with the help of the
Play Disney Parks app! Of course, they also do everything a standard MagicBand does, like unlock your resort room, scan into the parks, and make Lightning Lane access super easy. You'll be glad that you decided to pick one up!
I hope this answers your question, Amanda, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
