Ahoy Donna!
Happy to "sea" you back at planDisney with another great question. My family sailed on
Disney Wish in April and apparently, we
just missed the opportunity to test the
DisneyBand+ on our voyage. I love the convenience of MagicBand+ when visiting Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, so I'm eager to use my band as an alternative to my Key to the World Card on future sailings. This technology is available exclusively on Disney Wish right now, but I hope we'll see it expand to other
Disney Cruise Line ships in the coming years.
Since I haven't yet had the chance to order a DisneyBand+ or use one onboard for myself, I reached out to a friendly Cast Member for more guidance on your inquiry. Although the pre-arrival offer notes indicate it's only valid for US Residents, they let me know that you can pre-order a DisneyBand+ for your exchange student and have it shipped to your US address with the rest of your travel party's bands.
Your embarkation date is quickly approaching so you'll want to act quickly as you can only
pre-order from 11-45 days in advance of your sail date with a paid-in-full reservation. You'll be able to order via the
"My Reservations" page and select a color and customization subject to availability. If you end up missing the pre-order deadline or run into any unexpected issues online you can always purchase DisneyBand+ once you've boarded the ship.
I hope that clears up any confusion and steers you toward a most magical voyage in just a few short weeks. If we can answer any additional questions in the meantime, feel free to sail back and see us again.
Bon voyage!
Amy
