Hi Alexandria! Welcome to planDisney.
In a few short days, you will be immersed in
The World's Most Magical Celebration at
Walt Disney World Resort. Enjoy some of the specialty-themed treats found in the
50th Anniversary Sips and Bites Guide. At
Magic Kingdom Park, try Walt's Chili-Cheese Hot Dog from
Casey's Corner. How about a 50th Anniversary Celebration Cupcake from
Creature Comforts at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
While
MagicBands are available online for purchase through
shop Disney, because you are so close to your arrival, I recommend you wait until you are at Walt Disney World to purchase your arm candy. You can find MagicBands at the gift shops at the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, theme parks, and
Disney Springs. The world's largest Disney store,
World of Disney® is
located in the Marketplace at Disney Springs. In addition to MagicBands, at World of Disney®, you will find the
Celebration Collection,
EARidescent Collection, and the
Disney Castle Collection all part of the 50th-anniversary special merchandise.
Once you purchase your MagicBand, make sure to link it to your
My Disney Experience account. I find this easiest in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Open the app, click on the three horizontal lines in the right-hand bottom corner, and scroll to select "My Profile." Choose "MagicBands & Cards" followed by "Link a MagicBand or Card." You will be prompted to enter the ID code which will lock your new purchase forever to you no matter how many times you visit Walt Disney World. Just a side note, do not forget to link any
Theme Park Tickets to your account as well. You follow the same process under "Tickets and Passes" in the app.
Thanks for stopping by
planDisney with your Walt Disney World Resort question. We are always here to help.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
