Hi Alice,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
Once guests make their hotel reservation, they’re able to order those pre-arrival MagicBands through
My Disney Experience.
Once you select your MagicBand or decline for any members of your party, the order is set and no changes can be made. The best way to see if there are any new arrivals within the pre-arrival category is to order closer to the vacation and check what might be available periodically. For any future vacations, keep in mind that you have up until 10 days before your vacation to order your MagicBands so they’re shipped to you. If the MagicBands are ordered between 10 – six days before your arrival, you would pick them up at your Disney Resorts Collection hotel.
Since you already ordered, my suggestion would be to check out
shopDisney for any MagicBands that might be sold online. You can also wait until your vacation and head to
World of Disney at Disney Springs to see the variety of MagicBands that are available there! If you wait to purchase during your vacation, once you purchase all the MagicBands, simply link them to your
My Disney Experience mobile app.
Finally, remember that
MagicBand+ is coming soon! You’ll want to stay tuned to the Walt Disney World Resort website and
Disney Parks Blog for any news relating to this new addition. You can also utilize
Disney MagicMobile with your smart phone and watch devices!
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your October vacation, it will be here before you know it. If you have other planning or vacation questions,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
