Hi Cindy!
Welcome back to planDisney! How exciting that you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort this
holiday season. There is so much to see, do, and enjoy through the theme parks and resorts during this time of year.
If you are looking for a fun and festive
MagicBand for your trip, you do have a few options. As you have noticed the discounted pre-order MagicBands must be purchased for your entire party. This isn’t my favorite feature of the pre-order option, but at the moment, this is how Disney has chosen to set it up. Even though I don’t need more MagicBands, ordering them is part of the excitement for my family so we typically get new ones every trip.
If you only need one MagicBand and don’t wish to pay for a new one for the entire party (I love saving money, so I get it!) then the only other option is to order a single full-priced
MagicBand from shopDisney, reuse an old MagicBand that is already associated to you, or you can wait and purchase a new MagicBand on arrival. Also know that you can skip the MagicBand altogether if you prefer. You can receive a complimentary Key to the World card from the front desk that will serve as a room key and theme park ticket. Or for a high-tech option, check out the new
Disney MagicMobile Service. This new service allows you to access your theme park tickets on your mobile devices such as a smartphone or smartwatch. My husband doesn’t like to have two things on his wrist, so on our most recent trip he used Disney MagicMobile to access his part ticket from his smartwatch and he loved it. You can also open your room door directly from the
My Disney Experience Mobile App!
I’m sorry there isn’t a way to order a single discounted MagicBand, Cindy. But hopefully, one of the other options will work for you!
Happy Planning!
