Hello, Kewita!
It is a pleasure to welcome a fellow international Guest to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your very first question! We are thrilled to assist you as you plan a Walt Disney World Resort getaway during the
merriest time of the year!
I love using
a MagicBand while staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel to unlock the door of my Guest room and charge food and merchandise purchases to my room account during my stay. MagicBands can also be used by all Guests to enter the theme parks and water parks (with valid admission) and link Disney PhotoPass content to My Disney Experience.
Although Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can purchase MagicBands in advance at pre-arrival prices, please note that they are not shipped abroad, so international Guests are advised to buy a MagicBand upon arrival at the Walt Disney World Resort. You will find MagicBands at most retail locations, including the store located at your Disney Resort hotel. I recommend stopping by Disney Springs and visiting
World of Disney store before heading to the parks to check out their MagicBand collection. Another great place to shop for MagicBands is
Disney’s Pin Traders, also located at Disney Springs.
planDisney tip: If you decide not to purchase a MagicBand, you can stop by Front Desk at your Disney Resort hotel and request a
Key to the World card. You can also use the My Disney Experience app to create a
Disney MagicMobile pass and add it to your digital wallet to use your mobile device to enter the parks.
It was a pleasure answering your question, Kewita. I hope you come back to visit us real soon with more questions and that you have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
See ya real soon!
Thiana
