Hi Stan!
Welcome to planDisney.
Yes! Guests from the United States can pre-order their
MagicBands via the My Disney Experience mobile app or online. There is usually a good selection to choose from at a special pre-order price, and they can be delivered to your home address or to your Disney Resort hotel.
If you would prefer to wait until you arrive, several places sell MagicBands - Resort hotel shops, Disney Springs (D-Tech on Demand, and World of Disney), and in the four theme parks - the Emporium at Magic Kingdom Park, or
Creations Shop at EPCOT both have a good selection, for example. If you would prefer not to make your purchase as soon as you arrive on vacation you can request Key to the World admission cards from the front desk - free of charge - which you can use to access your hotel room, make charges to your room and use for park admission. Alternatively, you can access Disney MagicMobile pass which is available on the
My Disney Experience app.
I personally always prefer to use a MagicBand as I find it easier to have everything readily available on my wrist every time I want to scan it. Another benefit is that they are waterproof so you can wear them when swimming or showering. This is especially beneficial when spending a day at the water parks so you don't need to store your cash or park tickets in a locker - you can use your MagicBand for park entry and for purchasing anything during the day.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions - you can also
send me a personal question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday, and keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest official news about events that may be happening during your stay.
