Hey there, Grant!
Welcome to planDisney! This is such a great question. Guests of
Walt Disney World Resort Collection hotels that wish to pre-order a MagicBand or MagicBand+ online can do so up to ten days before your arrival and your bands to be shipped to your home before your adventure begins. However, MagicBand orders have been taking a bit longer than expected, due to the popularity of the new
MagicBand+. Currently, after your MagicBand order is personalized the listed shipping time is 10 business days. It may be a little less based on your location, but this is a good guideline. Once your MagicBands have shipped, you can view the shipping status through the tracking link provided both through email and in your
My Disney Experience account. If you order your favorite new vacation accessory 9-6 days prior to arrival, the bands will automatically be shipped to your Walt Disney World Resort hotel.
Now if by chance you are
ordering MagicBands through shopDisney, the current projected shipping time is 5-7 business days after your order is processed. This order method is not available for the pre-arrival discount given to Guests of a Walt Disney World Resort hotel.
Should you be ordering a new MagicBand+,
don't forget to link the band to your
My Disney Experience app and charge it before you arrive. This way your band is ready to use without taking time out of your vacation to do the setup.
If your travel plans are confirmed and there are MagicBand options available that are favorites of your travel party, go ahead and place that order! This will give you plenty of time to receive your bands before your upcoming adventure and you can check one more step off of your vacation planning to-do list!
We'll see ya real soon!
