Welcome aboard planDisney, Novelinda!
Thanks for sailing by with your question. I'm glad you are considering purchasing a
DisneyBand+ for your upcoming Disney Cruise Line adventure. While they have the same technology and design as MagicBand+, aboard Disney Cruise Line the bands are known as DisneyBand+. It is also good to know you can use MagicBand+ from your Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort vacations. I have appreciated being able to unlock my stateroom door with just a flick of the wrist and being able to disembark and embark at select ports of call using my DisneyBand+, so let's help you order one for your vacation.
You can purchase one band per Guest on the Disney Cruise Line website under the My Reservations tab and navigate down to DisneyBand+ & More. When ordering, you can select from exclusive Disney Cruise Line designs and customize your band with your name. You can purchase your band after making your cruise reservation and at least 11 days before your arrival date. You can purchase select bands once onboard the ship (selection and availability is subject to change).
Now, when I'm at Walt Disney World Resort, I've been known to match my band to my outfit or the theme park I'm visiting on any given day. However, one thing to note about using DisneyBand+ (or a MagicBand+ from a resort visit) during your cruise is that you can link only one band per sailing, so you can leave your extra bands at home.
I hope this information is helpful, Novelinda. Please visit planDisney any time with other questions you may have.
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
