Hi Ernest,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for asking us a question!
For now, the MagicBands that you'll receive prior to your stay at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel are the solid colour ones, and not the "character" MagicBands that are for sale at various merchandise locations. I just logged in to My Disney Experience, and the only options that seem to be available as of right now are the solid colours: yellow, blue, pink, red, orange, grey, green and (finally!) purple.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to “upgrade” to other styles of MagicBands, for now, unless you purchase a special Vacation Package (such as the
Awaken Summer Special Offer) that specifically includes a special MagicBand as part of the promotion.
That being said, even though I love my Minnie Polka Dot MagicBand and I use it as my “primary” MagicBand, I still personalize my family’s MagicBands prior to each visit to Walt Disney World Resort. "Character" MagicBands can't get personalized with your name underneath the band, although several cool personalized designs are available at
Retail MagicBand on Demand merchandise locations. Choosing the name to put underneath my MagicBand is probably one of my favourite "pre-arrival" parts of each visit to Walt Disney World Resort - don't be afraid to be creative!
Please don't hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
