    Hi. I live in Canada and what is the best way/timing to buy the magic bands and have them delivery to my Disney Hotel. Should I wait until the 10 days prior my arrival so it will be shipped to my hotel? or is there a way to buy now and send them to hotel?

    Hi there, Mirela,

    Welcome to planDisney! It's always great to connect with a fellow Canuck and help with any planning questions. Disney bands (known as MagicBands in the United States) are a fun tool that helps keep trip details organized and convenient. My daughters’ favourite part of wearing their Disney bands is the simple tap of the wrist to open our Disney Resort hotel room - it makes them feel like they have a little bit of magic of their own. Disney bands also make your day in the parks so much easier. You can tap into the theme parks, scan to collect your Disney PhotoPass images, and even use them to charge dining and merchandise purchases right back to your Disney Resort hotel room.

    I wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately, Canadians and other International Guests cannot pre-purchase Disney bands (to be shipped or picked up at a Disney Resort hotel). You can, however, purchase Disney bands on-site at your Disney Resort hotel's gift shop and then link them to your My Disney Experience account. If you're looking for a larger selection of Disney bands, I recommend checking the following locations:

    Your Disney band will come with a bit of a charge but you might want to plug it in before using it for the first time (or bring a portable charger with you). 

    I hope you have a fantastic trip to Disney World. If you're heading to EPCOT, be sure to dive into the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. The Festival offers you the chance to grow your creative side, view incredible artwork, enjoy wonderful music and dine at the various Food Studios. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to stop by planDisney again. 

    Enjoy making magical memories,
    Candace
