Welcome to planDisney, Marie! Your magical vacation will be here before you know it, so let's dive right into your question about the MagicBand+ (which I call the most magical accessory on Earth!)
Marie, I love using a
MagicBand+ when I'm at Walt Disney World - from hands-free purchases, fun interactions with attractions and entertainment, and easily tapping into my Disney Resort hotel room, it makes me feel even more
connected to the magic!
Guests who have a Disney Resort hotel reservation can even take advantage of pre-arrival discounted pricing on MagicBands through their My Disney Experience accounts. To do this, you'll want to follow these steps:
- Log in to your My Disney Experience account
- Click on My MagicBands and Cards
- Find your upcoming Disney Resort reservation; you'll see a countdown to show you how many days you have left to pre-order your bands here
- Click Get Started and select a MagicBand for each guest on your resort reservation
- Once you've confirmed your selections, click Proceed to Checkout and follow the prompts to finalize your purchase
Marie, depending on how close your resort stay is, your bands may be shipped to your home (11 or more days in advance) or directly to your Disney Resort hotel (6-10 days in advance) for pick up when you check in!
I hope this helps, Marie! Remember that MagicBand inventory is always changing, so if you see a band you really like, I always encourage guests to finalize those purchases before it might disappear! With your trip right around the river bend, you'll want to make those selections soon so you'll be ready to go!
If you have any other questions before your visit, come see us again here at
planDisney! We're always excited to tap into the magic with you!
See you real soon,
Alison
