    Hello! First time cruisers! And living in the UK. We are due to sail on the Disney Dream next Summer from Portsmouth, UK to Spain. Can we, or are we, able to buy magic bands to use on the ship? If so how?! Many Thanks!!

    Hello there, Katie! Welcome to planDisney, where we are happy to set sail in search of answers to your Disney holiday questions. I’m so excited to hear you will be enjoying your first-ever Disney cruise next summer. You are truly in for a magical adventure! 

    There is so much for everyone to enjoy on a Disney cruise! My children have loved every cruise we have ever sailed on with Disney Cruise Line. Even now, as young adults, they still love Disney cruises! There are loads of fun activities, incredible dining experiences, and unparalleled live entertainment. You can expect the level of magic that only Disney can provide from the moment you set foot on the ship until the day you debark! 

    The DisneyBand+ is not only a convenient, hands-free device that enhances your cruise experience, but it also makes for an adorable keepsake. On board the Disney Cruise ships, you can find adorable nautical designs and bands themed with your specific cruise ship. Unfortunately, DisneyBand+ can only be ordered in advance and delivered to a valid U.S. mailing address. DisneyBand+ cannot be shipped internationally. But you can still purchase a DisneyBand+ from the shops on board once you set sail! For the best selections, I recommend checking out the shops as soon as they open on embarkation day, typically around 6:00 PM, or as soon as the ship enters international waters. 

    I wish you smooth seas and an unforgettable holiday on board Disney Cruise Line, Katie! Here at planDisney, we want you to experience the most magical Disney holiday possible. If you have additional questions as your holiday approaches, please ask them here. It is our pleasure to find answers for you. 

    Happy Sailing!
