    I'm staying at the grand floridian hotel this June. How do I get magic bands and are they complimentary?

    Hi Susan,

    Cue the orchestra because your upcoming stay at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa this June sounds like a dream fit for royalty! You're going to love the timeless elegance, the delightful monorail chime outside your window, and those evening views of Cinderella Castle all aglow. Now, let’s talk MagicBands, the most chic way to access the magic!

    MagicBands are available for purchase ahead of your visit and can be customized just for you. Once you’ve linked your Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation to your My Disney Experience account, you’ll be able to order MagicBands at a special pre-arrival price through the app or website. There’s a full rainbow of styles to choose from, including characters, attractions, and even glittery designs that would make a fairy godmother swoon!

    Currently, MagicBands are not complimentary, but the pre-arrival discount is a nice sprinkle of pixie dust for Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels. If you prefer, you can also wait and purchase one upon arrival at your resort or in many merchandise locations across Walt Disney World Resort. But ordering in advance means your MagicBands will be shipped to your home and ready to wear the moment you step into the magic.

    Once you have them, they’ll serve as your room key, park ticket (if linked), and can even charge purchases back to your room. Talk about having magic right at your fingertips!

    I hope your stay at the Grand turns into a storybook adventure full of sparkle and sweet surprises. If you need help deciding between MagicBand or MagicBand+, or want ideas for enchanting extras during your stay (like dinner with Cinderella or fireworks views from Gasparilla Island Grill), I’m all ears!

    Wishing you magic from head to toe… and wrist!

    See ya real soon,

    Emille
