Hiya Lillian - welcome to
planDisney!
Lately, it's been a bit of the Wild West when it comes to MagicBand availability, especially with the recent launch of the
MagicBand+. The particular
MagicBand that I think you are asking about was offered near the beginning of the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, and I haven't seen it available online as a pre-arrival option, on shopDisney, or in the Theme Parks in quite some time.
Now, let me just say that we've seen some
interesting things happen, including items thought to be sold out or unavailable magically reappearing at the most random times. So, while I think it's very unlikely that you will see this particular MagicBand show up again, it's always possible!
I do have one concern though, Lillian - orders have been taking a bit longer to make it to Guests' homes this year. If you really want MagicBands to be a Christmas gift, I recommend placing your order as soon as possible, just to be safe. The pre-arrival selections change often, and without warning, so I recommend making some choices now and getting it taken care of.
I also want to point out that there is
a newer MagicBand+ that does feature Cinderella Castle, and while it is currently sold out at shopDisney, I have seen this one pop up as a pre-arrival option recently. I know it's a different vibe, but it might be a good alternative if Cinderella Castle is what's important to you!
I know this isn't the news you were hoping for, but my hope is that it is still helpful.
Please stop by any time with additional questions, Lillian!
Ryan J.
