    How do MagicBands work now? Haven't been in 10 years. Do I need to purchase from store or can I purchase with my reservation at a Disney resort?

    Welcome to planDisney, Ella Grace! I'm excited that you brought your question to us at planDisney - I'm always happy to chat about the most magical accessory on Earth - the MagicBand+! I've acquired quite a collection of these fun and functional bands over the years and am known to pack a few options to match my outfits during my visits!

    Ella Grace, if you're staying as a guest at a Disney Resort hotel, you are eligible to purchase your MagicBands at a discounted price through your reservation. To do so, log into your My Disney Experience account and visit "My MagicBands & Cards" to see your eligible resort reservation details. From here, select "Get Started" to view the available inventory and prices of MagicBands for your travel party. You can select your bands at any time up to 11 days before check-in to have them shipped directly to your home; if you order between 6 and 10 days before your check-in, they will be shipped to your Disney Resort hotel for pick up upon your arrival.

    Keep in mind that inventory and selections are constantly changing, so I recommend keeping an eye on the options, but if you see a must-have MagicBand, don't delay! Sometimes they will go out of stock quickly! If you prefer, you can also choose a MagicBand online at the Disney Store or in person once you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort. Most retail locations and gift shops offer a selection of MagicBands! Remember that once your MagicBand is linked to an account, it cannot be transferred to another person.

    Ella Grace, I hope this helps! I'm sending lots of pixie dust that you find the most magical MagicBand to connect you to the magic during your visit! If you have any other planning questions before your arrival, please come back to planDisney and let us know! We're always here to tap into a magical answer for you!

    Magic and Memories,
    Alison
