Hi Shobana,
Welcome aboard planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question about your upcoming cruise. January is a perfect time to escape the winter weather and head straight to the sun and sand aboard the
Disney Wish!
You will be happy to know that yes, you can purchase a MagicBand+ at
Disney's Springs in Walt Disney World Resort to use as your
DisneyBand+ (the same thing as a MagicBand+, but referred to by a different name on Disney Cruise Line) on your Disney Cruise Line holiday. You can also
purchase a DisneyBand+ on board the ship. One tip, if you have a MagicBand+ from a previous Walt Disney World Resort vacation, you can use that band aboard the ship instead.
Once you've purchased your band, simply
link it to your Disney Cruise Line account by following these steps. Please note that a Disney Cruise Line Cast Member shared that you will need to be in the U.S. to link your band, at this time. If you have any issues with your band when you arrive at the terminal, ask to be directed to the tech help desk, and a Cast Member will get you set up and ready to go. Once onboard, you can stop by Guest Services for any troubleshooting.
Shobana, one of my favorite things about using a DisneyBand+ on my Disney cruises is the convenience of opening my stateroom door. It seems simple, but when you have a handful of souvenirs or your Drink of the Day tumbler, hands-free entry comes in, well, handy!
I hope this information gets you on your way to a smooth sailing cruise, Shobana. Please let us know if you have other questions.
Bon Voyage and many magical memories,
Shannon
