Hello and welcome to
planDisney, Sheree. Thanks for dropping by with your question.

MagicBand availability does quite often change, Sheree. New styles and colors are always being added while others are being removed due to inventory. It's unfortunate that the MagicBands that you were hoping to order is no longer available. But no worries! Once you get to Walt Disney World, you are going to be amazed at all of the MagicBand choices that you'll find. MagicBands can be purchased at almost every merchandise location at all of the
Walt Disney World Theme Parks and
Resort Hotels and let me tell you, there are some really cool ones there. You'll find different colors, characters and even some attraction-based MagicBands to choose from. If it were me, I'd go ahead and just wait to purchase your MagicBands until you arrive. I think you'll be really pleased about the selection. You really don't need them beforehand as everything can be done on the MyDisneyExperience app, which I hope you've already downloaded to your smartphone and played around with, or with a complimentary Keys To The World Card that you can grab at the front desk of the resort that you are staying at. I actually really like the Keys To The World Card, they are the old hotel-style card keys that feature different characters on them. They are cute and free!
Once you purchase your MagicBands at Walt Disney World, you'll need to link them to your
MyDisneyExperience account. This is easy to do and is laid out for you on the back of your MagicBand purchase. What you'll do is open the MyDisneyExperience app and select the navigational menu which is the three horizontal lines on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Then you'll scroll down until you see "My Profile" and select then. Then you'll open up the "MagicBands & Cards" option and then go to "Link a MagicBand or Card" From there, you'll be walked through the process of linking your new MagicBand. It's as easy as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!
I hope this helps, Sheree. If you have any other questions about your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help.
Delightfully,
Jackie H.
