Hi Susan,
Welcome to planDisney!
MagicBands are a great way to keep the magic with you at all times because you can use them in so many different areas around the
Walt Disney World Resort.
You’re right! You can purchase MagicBands via
shopDisney. There are so many to choose from so you can find one to fit the style of each guest in your party.
If you are looking to have your MagicBands ready at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can purchase these through
My Disney Experience. Once you have booked your Disney Resorts Collection hotel, make sure it’s linked in My Disney Experience. Then sign in and from the
Walt Disney World home page, select “My MagicBands and Cards” under the “My Disney Experience” menu. Then you will be taken through the selection process to order your MagicBands at pre-arrival prices. You can even add your names which will appear underneath your MagicBands. At this time, the selection for MagicBands in My Disney Experience will only show up if you have a Disney Resorts Collection hotel reservation linked. If you want your MagicBands shipped to you, order them at least 11 days before your arrival. Order your MagicBands at least six days before your arrival if you want them shipped to your Disney Resorts Collection hotel.
If you aren’t staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can also personalize MagicBands around the Walt Disney World Resort in stores such as
Marketplace Co-Op in Disney Springs and in Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. at
Magic Kingdom Park!
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Have further questions?
Please reach out, I am always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
