Welcome to planDisney, Jennifer! Thank you for sending us this question! I'm happy to hear you are planning a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth!
MagicBands are a favorite accessory for my family when we are vacationing at Walt Disney World Resort! There are a few different ways you can get MagicBands. If you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you can preorder these before your arrival for a small cost. You can also order MagicBands on
shopDisney. If you prefer to wait until your arrival, you can purchase MagicBands at various locations around Walt Disney World Resort, such as the theme parks, Disney Resort Hotels, and
Disney Springs.
I love how easy and convenient it is to use MagicBands! In case you didn't know, MagicBands are perfect for scanning entry into the theme parks and when using
Lightning Lanes. If you plan to stay at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you can use your MagicBand to unlock your resort room door and for charging food and merchandise at your hotel as well as locations throughout Walt Disney World! My favorite way to use our MagicBands is to have them readily available to scan when we want to capture our special memories using
Disney PhotoPass Service.
I hope this information helps with your planning! Wishing you an absolutely magical vacation!
Happy Planning!
Lisa
