Hi Deborah,
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your vacation planning question! We are always happy to help you plan out every detail for your well-deserved holiday.
You are going to have such a Magical visit next month! I love having "split stays" between two Disney Resorts when I have a visit that is long enough to do so. If you haven't stayed at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter before, you are in for a real treat. The charming environment and theming permeate the entire Resort and it really does have that New Orleans vibe. I also love that it is more compact than many other Resorts, so it is very easy to get around and pop over to
Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory for a quick bite or beverage. And what a combination to also stay at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort! In my opinion, this Deluxe Disney Resort is a vacation in its own right. I would love to just hang out at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for weeks if it were possible for me. Some of my favorite places to eat and drink are at this Resort, and I hope you will have time to check out
'Ohana and
Trader Sam's Grog Grotto while you are there.
Now let's talk about purchasing
Disney Bands before your trip. At this time, international Guests are unable to purchase Disney Bands in advance with their Disney Resort hotel package. However, you can order them through
shopDisney and have them shipped to your home address or to your Disney Resort hotel. There isn't a discount when ordering through shopDisney, but you can often find some styles on sale. Your other option is to wait until after you arrive and purchase your Disney Band at your Disney Resort hotel, in the theme parks, or at
Disney Springs.
Have a Magical holiday, Deborah! Please write back to us here at
planDisney with any more vacation planning questions, we are always happy to help you plan your next Magical adventure.
See Ya Real Soon,
Brenda
