    Hi! Can i still order magic bands prior to my trip to Orlando to be sent to the hotel i am staying at? When can this be done as it doesnt allow me to access to view/order as im in UK.

    Hi Michael, 

    Welcome to planDisney! I’m happy to help answer your question about Disney bands (known as MagicBands in the United States). They are a fun accessory that lets Guests open their Disney Resort hotel room simply by tapping your wrist, tapping at the turnstiles for theme park entry, scan to add PhotoPass photos and can be used for payment for merchandise and dining. 

    As of a few years ago, International Guests and Canadians can no longer pre-order Disney bands that can be picked up at the Front Desk upon arrival (and they can no longer be shipped Internationally). Good news - you can still purchase a Disney band onsite! The Disney Resort hotel gift shops sell a small selection of Disney bands or you can check the following merchandise locations for a larger selection of bands: 

    When you open up your Disney bands, you’ll notice that the bands come with a small charge. This lets you link them to a MyDisney account if you’re out and about. I always bring a portable charger so I can charge my Disney band for a bit while I enjoy the theme parks. 

    I hope this information helps, Michael. Please head back to planDisney if you think of any other questions!
