    How do you get magic bands in magic kingdom, what is the difference between the bands.

    Hi Christine,

    Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your MagicBand question. Oh boy!  Your magical adventure is just around the corner, and soon you'll be strolling down Main Street, ready to visit Mickey, Minnie, and all their pals! 

    Okay, so let’s dive right into your question. MagicBands are available at select locations throughout Magic Kingdom, including the Emporium. If you want your MagicBand+ ready before arrival, you can also purchase one online. Now, when it comes to MagicBands, there are two options: the classic MagicBand 2 and the MagicBand+, although according to a Cast Member, the MagicBand 2 may be a little harder to find, but they are select locations around the resorts and the parks. But let me tell you—the MagicBand+ absolutely enchants my family! 

    Not only does it offer all the practically perfect conveniences of the standard MagicBand 2—such as park entry (with valid admission), resort room access, and even the ability to tap to pay for souvenirs and food (like a Cheeseburger Spring Roll from the Spring Roll Cart)—but it also takes the magic to infinity and beyond! With light pulses, vibrations, and interactive experiences, the MagicBand+ lets you feel the magic all around you! Whether it's syncing with nighttime spectaculars like Happily Ever After or unlocking colors while riding Tron, there’s always something exciting to discover! My little princesses love watching their bands light up and feeling the buzz as we explore the parks and attractions—it's like having a sprinkle of Tinker Bell’s pixie dust right on your wrist! 

    I hope this helps as you get ready for your magical visit, Christine! If you have any more questions, feel free to visit. 

    See you real soon,

    Christina
