Hey howdy hey, Kathy.
Welcome to planDisney! I see you have a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation on the horizon. I can't wait for you to experience
The World's Most Magical Celebration and the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival on your trip! You'll be right in the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. before you know it.
MagicBands make vacationing at The Most Magical Place on Earth so easy to do. They have a host of convenient uses that streamline your day-to-day experience. You can use them to unlock your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door, enter the
theme parks, link your
Disney PhotoPass photos to your My Disney Experience account, and
charge purchases, such as meals and souvenirs, to your Disney Resort hotel room during your stay. I'm glad to hEAR you want to use them on your trip!
You can order MagicBands ahead of your vacation through your
My Disney Experience account from a browser. Hover your cursor over the words "My Disney Experience" in the top menu bar on the screen and click on "My MagicBands and Cards" from the list of options that appear. Your upcoming Disney Resorts Collection hotel reservation should be listed along with the names of everyone in your party and a countdown of how many days you have left to order your MagicBands. Click on the blue "Get Started" box on the screen, then click "Select" under the name of the individual you want to order a MagicBand for. This will take you to a screen with available MagicBand options, but you may have to click the icon with four blue squares that says "Grid View" to see the full selection of designs. When you find the MagicBand you want, click on its picture and enter the name you want written on it. Follow these same steps for every individual on your Resort reservation. If someone does not want a MagicBand, click "Select" under their name and then choose "Decline a New MagicBand" from the options. Click "Proceed to Checkout" to complete the ordering process, and in just a few weeks' time,
you'll receive your MagicBands in the mail!
If you are not staying in a Disney Resort hotel, you can always order a MagicBand ahead of your trip from
shopDisney or purchase one from a merchandise location on property when you arrive. If you go this route, you will have to link the MagicBands to each individual yourself. I recently
walked another Guest through this process, and it's super easy to do!
Kathy, I hope this helps. Please stop back by
planDisney with further questions that arise, and enjoy your magical vacation!
Hakuna matata,
Alyssa
