Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Rebecca!
There's nothing quite like the anticipation of
planning for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and selecting
MagicBands for your trip is definitely one magical piece of that puzzle!
Guests who are staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel are eligible to choose complimentary solid-colored MagicBands, or may opt to purchase premium patterned MagicBands at a discounted price.
At this time, MagicBand ordering is unavailable. Due to the temporary closures of Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resort Hotels, MagicBand orders are not being processed or shipped. Prior to the closure, orders that included at least one upgraded MagicBand were processed and shipped immediately, no matter how far off the travel dates. Orders for Guests who had selected
only complimentary bands were processed and shipped about a month prior to their travel dates. The order remained open and editable up until the time of shipment. I think this is why you may still be able to make a preliminary selection of complimentary solid-colored bands even though orders are not being processed at this time.
The good news is since your trip is not until November, you have many months in which to make your MagicBand selections. In fact, you can
customize your MagicBand order up until 11 days prior to your trip for your order to be shipped to your home, or up to 6 days prior to arrival for pick up at your Disney Resort Hotel. I recommend keeping your eye on the
Temporary Closures & Operational Updates notice on the Walt Disney World website (scroll to the bottom of the page and select MagicBands for more information.) Also, keep checking the
Disney Parks Blog for any news or information about opening dates. I'm sure as Walt Disney World Resort begins to gear up for reopening, the ability to place custom MagicBand orders will become available again.
Please stop by the Moms Panel again with any additional questions you may have. We are always happy to help.
