Hi Elizabeth,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question! Your vacation is in just a few weeks, how exciting!
I’m glad to hear that you’ve been checking for the
MagicBands within the
My Disney Experience mobile app. I’m actually not aware of when new MagicBands pop into the app, so the best thing to do would be to continue checking. Remember, you’ll want to place your order at least 11 days before your arrival if you want the MagicBands shipped to your home. If you’d like to pick them up at your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you’ll want to order them at least six days before arrival.
If you’re looking for a different selection of MagicBand options, you can always wait until you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort. There’s always a great selection within the Theme Parks as well as at
World of Disney at
Disney Springs. You’ll just want to build some time for browsing into the first part of your vacation. If you decide to go this route, once you purchase, you’ll want to link the MagicBands to your My Disney Experience mobile app so you can start using them immediately.
Also keep in mind that
MagicBand+ will be coming this year as a part of the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary. You’ll want to stay connected to the
website and
Disney Parks Blog to learn more about this fun new technology!
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your Walt Disney World vacation. If you have any other planning or vacation questions,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
