Hiya James!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for sending us this magical question! I don't know about you, James, but I often get so excited to head to the parks on my Disney vacations that I forget everything important in my room. On my last vacation, I ended up with three different room keys! For that reason, I especially love MagicBands, as I can just leave them on my wrist and forget about them. They make your Disney vacation so much more convenient while also adding a pop of Disney magic to your style!
There are a few ways that you can order MagicBands. First,
if you make a Resort hotel reservation, you will have the opportunity to purchase MagicBands at a reduced rate and have them delivered to your home. Otherwise, you can also order your MagicBands and have them delivered to your Resort hotel's lobby. Second, you can
order MagicBands online on shopDisney! Indeed, you can pick from a wide variety of MagicBands. Lastly, MagicBands are also available in person throughout the theme parks and Resort hotels. The variety of designs may be limited at certain locations, but stores like the
Emporium typically have a wide variety to choose from, for example.
Now, James, have you heard the big news? This past summer, the new
MagicBand+ was finally released at the Walt Disney World Resort, bringing brand new ways to experience the theme parks. MagicBand+ not only still includes the functions that we know and love, but also allows you to collect characters from the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection or find your assigned bounty at
Star Wars:
Galaxy's Edge. Plus, your MagicBand+ even adds to your experience of the nighttime spectaculars
Disney Enchantment and
Harmonious! Should you want to try this new device, they are also available in person at select merchandise locations, on shopDisney and online after booking your Resort hotel reservation.
I hope this was helpful, James, and that you will have the best day ever on your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your trip, please don't hesitate to reach back out. You've got a friend in us here at planDisney!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
