Hi Debbie, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Yay! You're at the "luggage tag" and packing stage of your Walt Disney World vacation countdown. Let the magic begin!
Those souvenir character luggage tugs are so adorable, and, to my knowledge, are still being sent along with MagicBands when the Guests have booked a Walt Disney World Vacation package. Guests who have booked a room-only resort reservation receive MagicBands, but not luggage tags. If you did book a
Walt Disney World Vacation package, and your MagicBand box has arrived, be sure to search the box thoroughly for both your luggage tags and your Magical Extras card and vouchers (sometimes they can be a bit hidden). If your MagicBand box hasn't yet arrived, never fear: this usually ships about 30 days in advance of your vacation. You can always call Guest Relations at (407) 939-5277 if you have any concerns about receiving these items before you depart.
Debbie, make sure you keep those MagicBands handy when you're packing (I keep all of ours in my purse). My family has a tradition of putting ours on as our flight descends into Orlando, or, when we're driving, as soon as we see the first "Disney World" road sign. You'll need your MagicBands to check in for Disney’s Magical Express if you're flying, or, if driving, they'll open your room door when you arrive at your resort hotel.
Have an amazing time at Walt Disney World next month!
There's a party going on around the theme parks, resorts, and Disney Springs, and I hope you have such fun celebrating Mickey and Minnie Mouse's 90th birthday with events, experiences, and – my favorite – treats. Party up!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
