    I’m with a group of 8 staying at the Contemporary. I was prompted to purchase magic bands at a discount for my confirmation when I logged into my app, so I did. I’ve linked the others, can I purchase bands for them at discount or will they get same prompt?

    Hi Renee,

    Welcome to planDisney!

    It seems as if you are taking the lead on planning! I am delighted to see you are staying at Disney's Contemporary Resort. This is one of my family's favorite Disney resorts because it is within walking distance to Magic Kingdom. It sounds like you purchased a MagicBand+ through My Disney Experience. If so, the other guests traveling with you should also be able to purchase one. If you are all on different reservations but connected through the Family & Friends List in My Disney Experience, they should see the option to purchase as well.

    When logging in from the website, click on the My Disney Experience link, then click on the My MagicBands and Cards link. Folks should see an option to place a MagicBand order. If you are on the same reservation, your MagicBand+ orders would have been together. My concern is that, if you are on the same reservation and you ordered yours, you may have declined ordering the others. It may be a good idea to call to speak with a cast member in Website Support.

    Although your group is not large, it is a group and pulling everyone together can take time! When I have traveled with a group, making advanced dining reservations has been especially important. It has been difficult for me to get one reservation for eight in the past, so I suggest that you try making reservations for two groups of four. Try making those reservations with 15 minutes of each other and when you arrive to the restaurant, ask the cast members if they can seat you together. Although they may not be able to, cast members have tried their best for us on prior visits!

    Renee, with that size of a group, I suggest considering a Disney Private VIP Tour. This would be a perfect way for your group to get a more personalized experience during your visit. Also, definitely consider Memory Maker because it will give you access to all of the digital downloads of your photos with Disney PhotoPass® Service photographers. Last tip - be sure to review the Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort activities prior to arrival. In the meantime, pack some patience and keep up the practically perfect planning!

    Magic and memories,
    Donyell
