Hi Mike,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
From my experience, there isn’t a way for you to receive a specific notification about pre-sales or new merchandise other than signing up for
shopDisney emails. If you’ve ordered from shopDisney in the past, you most likely receive their new merchandise notifications. Other than those notifications, the best way to stay up to date with what’s available would be to check out the website occasionally to see what’s new! On the
website, under the “Brands” header, you can check out the current Park offerings by selecting “Disney Parks”.
When it comes to
MagicBands, remember that if you’ll be staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you and your guests can choose from special-priced MagicBands through
My Disney Experience. There’s a great variety and sometimes you will be able to choose from options that might not be on shopDisney, so you should definitely take a look. To access those MagicBands, just go to your Resort reservation within the
My Disney Experience mobile app and scroll down to “Choose MagicBands”. Once selected, you’ll be taken to a webpage where you’ll sign-in to view the MagicBands and make your selections.
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is useful for your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation. If you have any other planning or vacation questions in the meantime,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
