Hello Kate-Lyn! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
As a fellow Canadian and a current Annual Passholder, I also found that the
benefits under the Passholder Program and the number of days I would be enjoying at the Walt Disney World Theme Parks over the next year made the purchase of an Annual Pass an incredibly cost-effective measure.
Good news, Kate-Lyn, each Annual Pass you purchase comes with a MagicBand. As you may know, Guests who stay at Walt Disney World Resort hotels are given
MagicBands that contain all of their pertinent information such as reservation number,
Advanced Dining Reservations,
FastPass+ Selections and more.
Guests who purchase an Annual Pass are also granted a MagicBand to use in the Theme Parks, however as Guests from Canada cannot have their MagicBands shipped to their home address, arrangements need to be made to ship your MagicBands to an American address. I am having my Annual Pass MagicBand shipped to
Disney's Contemporary Resort for our upcoming vacation.
You can arrange the shipment for your Annual Pass MagicBand through your
My Disney Experience Account. It is recommended that you schedule your shipment up to 14 days before arrival and that you plan with the pickup location to receive the package.
Be sure to look into all of the benefits offered to Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholders during your vacation (including free parking at the Theme Parks).
Have a Magical Vacation!
