Hey, Ginger! Thanks for bringing this great question to planDisney.
There's nothing quite like spending the fall season in
The Most Magical Place on Earth! From seasonal sweets to
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you're sure to find magic waiting for you around every corner. And the best way to access the magic is by using a MagicBand! To me, MagicBand and
MagicBand+ feel a little like a magic wand
that you wear. You can even unlock the door if you're staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and access the parks with just a tap. And if you have a vacation package with a stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can select your MagicBand through your
My Disney Experience account at a pre-arrival price!
Ginger, I'm happy to let you know that there are plenty of MagicBands to choose from through your My Disney Experience account – 68 styles, at the time of this writing! To make your selections, all you need to do is log into your account online, hover your mouse over the
My Disney Experience tab, and click
My MagicBands and Cards. Here, you'll be able to select MagicBands for yourself and the Guests in your immediate travel party. Follow the prompts to continue checkout and, ta-da! You're one step closer to your magical vacation!
If you aren't eligible for a pre-arrival MagicBand, you might also choose a MagicBand through
shopDisney. If you choose this option, make sure that you
link your MagicBand to your account! Please know that once you purchase your MagicBand (either through your My Disney Experience account or shopDisney), this purchase is not eligible for refund, exchange, or return. I'd recommend making sure that the MagicBand you select is one that you really like! However, if you're anything like me, you'll find yourself picking up an extra MagicBand or two to coordinate with your different park days. They also make great souvenirs to remember your trip by when you return home!
The best way to maximize your experience at Walt Disney World Resort is to combine the magic of a MagicBand with the
My Disney Experience app! This app will allow you to check wait times for attractions, access
virtual queues, and even
mobile order food. I'd recommend taking a little time to explore this app before you arrive!
If you have any other questions, please write to us again. After all, you've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
