Hi Mel!
Welcome to planDisney.
It is always a pleasure to answer questions from a fellow UK guest, and I fully understand that you want to have your Disney bands organised before the start of your holiday. Unfortunately, pre-ordering of Disney bands is no longer available for International guests. However, all the gift shops at Disney hotels - including
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort - usually hold a limited amount of stock of Disney bands, so you can make your purchase when you arrive, and have the Front Desk set them up for you.
Alternatively, something I often do when I want my Disney bands to be waiting for me when I arrive, is to purchase Disney bands from
Disneystore.com, to have them delivered to my Disney Resort hotel before my arrival date. They usually have a good selection. Ensure you enter the delivery address as "Your Name" + "GUEST arriving -
insert your arrival date" - then add the name and address of your Disney hotel, which is "Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, 1600 Seven Seas Drive
Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830-8423". On arrival, you can have your Disney Bands linked to your account. I like to place my order around 10 days before I arrive to ensure the package is waiting for me. It should be noted that you will be charged a Resort fee of around $6.00 (
subject to change) for any package received for you by the Front Desk.
In addition, you will find a good selection of Disney bands at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom Park (along with several other stores, including Creations Shop at EPCOT and World of Disney at Disney Springs).
Before you make your purchase you can request Key to the World admission cards from the front desk - free of charge - which you can use to access your hotel room, make charges to your room and use for park admission.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions - you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World!
