Hey there, Thomas!
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for swinging by with your question.
MagicBands are an absolute game-changer when it comes to making the most of your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. With just a tap, you can enter the theme parks (with valid admission), unlock your Disney Resorts Collection hotel room, link Disney PhotoPass images, and even charge purchases back to your resort hotel—making every magical moment a little more seamless!
When it comes to ordering MagicBands online, you've got a few great options. If you have a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel reservation, you can log into your
My Disney account on the Walt Disney World website or through the
My Disney Experience app to select MagicBands for your travel party at a pre-arrival discount. These will be shipped directly to your home (if ordered at least 11 days before your check-in date) or to your Disney resort for pickup at the front desk (if ordered 6 to 10 days before arrival). If you're not staying at a Disney Resort hotel or prefer to browse a wider selection, you can purchase MagicBands directly from the
Disney Store online and have them shipped to your home before your trip.
If you'd rather wait until you arrive, there are plenty of places to pick up a MagicBand in person! My personal favorite spots are
Disney's Pin Traders in Disney Springs and
Pin Traders - Camera Center in EPCOT—both of which have fantastic selections. Since linking your MagicBand to your account is super easy through the My Disney Experience app, you can take your time and find the perfect match once you're in the magic. And here's a pro tip: You can have multiple MagicBands linked to your profile (or any Guest's profile), so if you find one now but then discover another one that really speaks to you once you arrive, Hakuna Matata! You can use and switch between them as you please.
I hope this helps answer your question, Thomas. If you have any other Disney vacation planning questions, swing by planDisney.
I'd be happy to help!
Cheers,
Brent
