Hi Michele! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
MagicBand+ has arrived at Disneyland Resort! I was able to see them in action this fall. They're convenient, since you're able to scan your MagicBand+ at the gates and
Lightning Lane Entrances. They're also interactive during nighttime entertainment and on selected attractions, lighting up and vibrating, drawing you into the action in Avenger's Campus at Disney California Adventure. You can even become a Bounty Hunter and collect bounties with your MagicBand+ in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park.
Disneyland Resort Hotels do not currently offer the option of ordering MagicBand+ for prearrival. If you would like to have a MagicBand+ prior to arriving at the resort, you have the option of
purchasing on
shopDisney. Just be sure to select MagicBand+, since that is the only compatible band at Disneyland Resort. You've got plenty of time before your trip, so shipping won't be a problem, and there are lots of options. I like the
Disney100 choices with the celebration underway at Disneyland Resort.
You also can purchase your band once you arrive. Your on-site hotel will most likely have bands in stock in their gift shop and they're sold at locations in Downtown Disney District and the theme parks.
When your packing for your visit, be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, clothing for warm weather, and reusable water bottles. July tends to be warm and sunny! You'll want to stay comfortable and hydrated.
Have a magical visit!
