Welcome home, Edward!
Thanks for reaching out to us at planDisney; I’m excited to see you have a vacation coming up in a few weeks to Walt Disney World! It truly is the
most magical time of the year, and there are so many amazing things for you to experience. Let’s look at your options for discounts as a valued Disney Vacation Club Member when purchasing MagicBands.
Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel may preorder
MagicBands (or MagicBand+) at a discount through
My Disney Experience by accessing your resort reservation and navigating to the MagicBands section associated with that stay. I find this easiest from a computer browser and logging into my Disney account, then navigating to
My Plans. You can browse, personalize, and select bands for each member of your traveling party to be sent to your home prior to arrival (or to meet you at the front desk if not ordered more than eleven days before your vacation). You’ll see the discounted price listed for any bands currently available. Please note that you’ll receive this discount as a Disney Vacation Club Member because you are staying on property, but not a set discount simply for being a Member.
You may also receive a discount on the purchase of a MagicBand or MagicBand+ once on site as a merchandise purchase at a retail store if they offer
shopping discounts for Disney Vacation Club Members. This discount would apply to any merchandise purchased; MagicBands are often available at the resort’s gift shop or one of the many primary shops within the theme parks.
Did you know there is currently an
exclusive MagicBand+ design available on shopDisney for Disney Vacation Club Members who own a direct ownership interest through Disney? You must be logged into your Disney account with the Disney Vacation Club affiliation to be eligible for this purchase, but it’s a fun classic design that will proudly show that “you’re home” at the Walt Disney World Resort. There’s also a
limited holiday discount available on shopDisney as a Disney Vacation Club Membership benefit so be sure to hop on it if interested!
I hope this has you excited to finalize your designs and get ready for your upcoming stay, Edward. I love using my MagicBand to
access the magic seamlessly on vacation, and I know you’ll enjoy the many features of this fun wearable tech, too.
Please let us know how else we can help you finalize the details of this incredible vacation.
Wishing you a magical stay,
Amy
