    I’m going to be booking a DW trip for my family of 4 for June of 2026, I am planning on reserving a resort for the family, do I have to purchase magic bands separately or do we get them with the resort reservation? Thank you in advance Jennifer

    Hi Jennifer!

    Thanks for visiting us at planDisney!

    When you book a room at a Disney World resort, MagicBands are not included in your reservation, but you will have the option to purchase them in advance at a discounted rate (subject to change). 

    Once your resort reservation is linked to your account, you can order your MagicBands by visiting Disney World’s website. Hover over the My Disney Experience button, then click My MagicBands and Cards. 

    There, you’ll see your resort reservation and instructions for ordering your MagicBands. Click Get Started and follow the prompts. 

    It’s good to note that if you want to take advantage of the discounted rate, you’ll need to order your MagicBands at least 6 days prior to your check-in date. And if you want your MagicBands shipped to your home before your trip, you’ll need to purchase them 11 or more days prior to your check-in date. 

    In addition to being able to purchase MagicBands at a discounted rate, you’ll get lots of other perks by staying at a Disney World resort (again, subject to change), including extra hours at the parks, free transportation around property, being able to book dining for your entire trip 60 days prior to your resort check-in date, and being able to book Lightning Lane services 7 days in advance of your trip. 

    Plus, there really is something special about staying in the “Disney bubble!”

    I hope you have the best trip with your family! As you continue to plan, feel free to come back and ask us any questions that pop up. We’re always happy to help!

    Jenn J.
