Hiya, Timothy!
I'm so glad you stopped by
planDisney to discuss the most functional and magical accessory of them all,
MagicBands! With capabilities to serve as your theme park tickets, a key to your Disney Resort hotel room, and link to Disney PhotoPass service, stored payment methods, and Lightning Lane passes as well, you're so wise to place your order in advance! Did you know that
Guests of Disney Resort hotels can even pre-order at a special price? To take advantage of this offer, you'll need to place your order no less than 6 days before your arrival, so let's get to it!
You'll begin by
logging into your My Disney Experience account and selecting 'My MagicBands and Cards' from the menu that populates when you hover your cursor over 'My Disney Experience' in the top right corner of the screen. This will bring you to a screen that will display the Guests linked to your reservation who currently qualify for a pre-arrival MagicBand order. You'll select the blue 'Get Started' button and then choose the blue "Select" button underneath the first Guest for whom you'd like to order a MagicBand. You'll then be able to browse the available options, select the one you'd like, personalize it, and click the blue 'Complete' button. You'll need to repeat this process for all Guests, even if someone in your party is opting out of the order. Once you click the blue 'Select' button under their name, you'll choose 'Decline a MagicBand' and 'Decline Pre-Arrival Offer' instead. Once this process has been completed for all Guests on the reservation, you'll see a blue 'Proceed to Checkout' button and follow the prompts to complete your order.
Since you specifically mentioned wanting to have the order shipped to your Disney Resort hotel, you'll want to place your order 6-10 days before your check-in date, as any orders placed before this will be shipped directly to your home.
I hope this was helpful, Timothy! If you need any further assistance or clarification regarding the process, don't hesitate to stop back by. I'm happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
