Hello, Cheryl!
Welcome to planDisney with an excellent question. We are thrilled to assist fellow Guests as they plan a Walt Disney World Resort getaway!
I cannot imagine visiting
The Most Magical Place on Earth without a
MagicBand! Guests can use this all-in-one device to enter the theme parks, connect Disney PhotoPass content to
My Disney Experience, and open the door of their room and charge food and merchandise purchases to their account during their stay. Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can purchase MagicBands in advance at special pre-arrival prices by
signing in to their Disney account and visiting
My MagicBands and Cards.
Please note, however, that after placing an order, it is not possible to modify it to include a MagicBand for a Guest who previously chose to decline one. In this case, I recommend
purchasing a MagicBand online at shopDisney.com or upon arrival at several retail locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. My favorite places to shop for MagicBands are
World of Disney store and
Disney's Pin Traders, both located at Disney Springs. I also suggest checking availability at your Disney Resort hotel shop upon arrival.
It was a pleasure answering your question, Cheryl! Stop by again real soon if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
See ya real soon,
Thiana
