Hiya, Carrie!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I’m happy to help.
One of the many
perks of staying at a Disney Resort hotel is the chance to pre-order MagicBands at a discount before your trip! These little wonders do so much, from unlocking your resort room and tapping into Lightning Lane entrances to adding a little extra magic with lights and vibrations during select nighttime spectaculars. My teenage son was completely mesmerized watching his MagicBand+ glow along with
Fantasmic! a couple of years ago, that he might have spent more time watching his wrist than the actual show!
The good news is that you don’t need your reservation fully paid off to see the pre-arrival pricing. When you go to the MagicBands & Cards page in your
My Disney Experience account, click “Get Started” under your resort stay. You should see the discounted price with the regular price crossed out. If not, try logging out and back in. Sometimes the system just needs a little
bibbidi bobbidi reboot! If you’re still not seeing the discount, it might be worth giving
Website Support a quick call.
If you order at least 11 days before check-in, your MagicBands will ship to your home, but if you order between 6 and 10 days before your trip, they’ll be waiting for you at your resort when you arrive. Just a heads-up, the newer
MagicBand+ models need to be charged nightly, so don’t forget to pack the charging cable that comes with it!
By the way, you’re going to love the updated rooms at
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort! The Murphy bed is a great space-saver, and the comfy mattresses will be just what you need after a fun day in the parks.
I hope this helps, Carrie! Let me know if you have any other questions, because after all,
you’ve got a friend in me!
