Hi Bru,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question; I'm happy to assist you!
Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel currently have the opportunity to purchase a
MagicBand or a MagicBand+ for a special pre-arrival price for most bands. The cost varies depending on the type of band you choose. As I write this, here are some examples of the current Special Pre-Arrival Prices listed on the Walt Disney World website: a single-color MagicBand+ for $24.99, a Jungle Cruise MagicBand+ for $34.99, and a Magic Kingdom Park-themed MagicBand 2 for $24.99. Some MagicBand+ styles do not qualify for the pre-arrival price and are currently $44.99. Keep in mind that
prices and availability are subject to change at any time, so if you have your heart set on one style, I encourage you to order now.
You can view MagicBand options, under the
My Disney Experience tab on the website. Once you log in, select My MagicBands and Cards. Scroll down to the reservation you want to order a band for and select Get Started. Orders must be placed 6 days before your check-in date. MagicBand and MagicBand+ purchases made 11 or more days prior to your reservation will be shipped to your home. Purchases made 6-10 days before your check-in date will be shipped to your Disney Resort hotel for pick-up at the front desk.
Remember to
fully charge your band before arriving at your hotel or one of the theme parks so you will get the most out of this handy device. I love how easy it is to make purchases, open your hotel room door, and gain access to the parks (with valid theme park admission)
using a MagicBand. And I love the little surprises of lights and haptics the MagicBand+ provides throughout the parks! I'll let you discover those for yourself!
Let me know if you have other questions, Bru, as you plan your vacation!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
