Hi Michael,
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! I’m so happy to hear you’re planning a visit to Walt Disney World in 2026!
It sounds like you already know that as a Disney Resort Guest, you can
pre-order your MagicBand+ before your vacation. Orders placed 11 or more days before your arrival will be shipped to your home, and orders made six to 10 days prior to your reservation will be shipped to your Disney Resort for pick-up at the Front Desk. New or renewing Annual Passholders can also purchase a MagicBand+ through their MyDisney account, to be shipped to their address on file. At this time, there are no pre-arrival discounts for ordering your MagicBand+ in advance.
If there is a particular design available to pre-order, I recommend placing your order as soon as possible, as MagicBand+ offerings can change based on availability or season. Keep in mind that this order can only be placed once, so everyone in your party needs to choose a design or decline a MagicBand+ before you submit your order. No worries if someone declines a MagicBand+ and changes their mind once you arrive at Walt Disney World! There are plenty of
merchandise locations where you can purchase a MagicBand+, and it can easily be
linked to your MyDisney account so you can continue on with your day!
I hope this helps, Michael! I was just in Walt Disney World last week, and I had so much fun waving at the
character statues to hear them speak, and I loved seeing my MagicBand+ light up along with
Luminous. If you have any more questions, please send them our way at
planDisney!
