Ahoy there Adele, it’s great to see you sailing once again from the shores of planDisney!
I hope that you and your friends are all getting excited for your upcoming
3-Night Disney Magic at Sea Cruise from Brisbane, for what season sailors have called a fun "cruise to nowhere" and a nice quick jaunt out on the water. From the sounds of it, you must've really enjoyed
your Disney Magic at Sea voyage out of Melbourne last year, and as a former Australian resident myself it's really nice to have a bit of Disney out in this part of the world for a change! Now that
DisneyBand+ has finally made its way on board the Disney Wonder as of this past March, this is definitely one way for folks to get their hands on one - or rather, to purchase one to wear around their hands on their sailings and beyond.
At the current time,
only guests who are US Residents are eligible to purchase their bands in advance of the cruise through the Disney Cruise Line website. Though this has been a bit of a shame as far as fellow international seafarers are concerned, there's definitely a chance for you to purchase yours when you head back aboard the Disney Wonder and I highly recommend that you do so sooner than later when the shops open so that you can snag one while they're available (I was able to purchase one at
Mickey's Mainsail and on a return visit, they had already sold out of one of the Disney Cruise Line exclusive designs). You'll also want to allow it to fully charge just in case, as you'll need to link it to your account in order to experience all of its capabilities over the course of your voyage.
Keep in mind that these are always subject to availability, and with their growing popularity here's hoping that you'll all be able to purchase the designs you're after. If you do however have an already existing MagicBand+ from a previous holiday to a Disney Destination such as Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort, these can also be used on board with the same functionality of a
DisneyBand+! I took the opportunity to test this out on my most recent voyage to great success and have loved being able to wear this unique Disney Cruise Line souvenir to the theme parks.
You're always welcome to
join us again here at planDisney for any other tips, tricks or bits of nautical knowledge before you set sail - and be sure to keep an eye out on
the Disney Parks Blog as well as Disney Cruise Line social media this week for the latest and greatest news about the upcoming
Disney Destiny!
Wishing you all the best on your quest for bands on your upcoming ocean adventure!
