Hi there, Sherri! Welcome to planDisney!
As a Texas resident, you'll know that this Florida gal is definitely not experiencing a snowy Elsa winter either. But somehow, like
Olaf, we're still ready for that real summer heat. Why? That Walt Disney World Resort vacation is on the horizon! So, let's dive into how you can get your hands on a
Disney MagicBand.
MagicBands are a must-have for my family's theme park days. Entering the park is a breeze, receiving our
PhotoPass photo downloads is effortless, and if we're staying on property, making a charge to our hotel folio is easy peasy. I love that you're already looking into ways to get this magical device and have it ready to go for your vacation.
There are a couple ways that you can find a Disney MagicBand. First, visit shopDisney online. This virtual one-stop shop has an extensive range of designs and color options for you to choose from. However, I find that there aren't as many options for the solid-colored Disney MagicBand anymore since the release of the MagicBand+. Second, if you're staying on property, open your My Disney Experience app, click on the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner of the screen, and select "Resort Hotel." There you'll find and select "Choose MagicBands." Currently, I do not see a price as low as $10 for these solid-colored and patterned choices, and I'm only seeing MagicBand+ devices. Keep checking back as your vacation gets closer for any discounts or option changes.
If you need to manually pair your new, pixie-dusted MagicBand, open your My Disney Experience app, click on the three horizontal lines, and select "MagicBands and More." You can link your MagicBand by selecting "Link a MagicBand or Card" to the desired Guest in your party.
AN EXTRA GEM: If you want to purchase a MagicBand or MagicBand+ once you arrive, there are tons of shops on property to purchase one. A lot of the options can be found at the various D-Tech on Demand locations. No
Disney Springs visit is complete without a quick dip inside
Marketplace Co-Op to check out the latest designs.
If you have any further questions while planning your upcoming Disney vacation,
please give us a holler here at planDisney. I'm all ears!
Magic always,
