Hiya, Ronald, and welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with this great question. I'm a big fan of my
MagicBand+, so let's see how those beautiful bands will arrive.
I just returned from a
Walt Disney World Resort visit with a group of friends, and several of us ordered a MagicBand+ in advance to take advantage of the discount offered to Disney Resort Hotel guests.
Since we stayed in one room, one of my pals placed the order online and shipped all the bands to her home. She brought them along, and I'm happy to say they were packaged similarly to the original MagicBands.
Our names were printed on the box under our respective bands and on the back of each band. Several of us ordered the same band, so that was a great way to keep them straight!
If you don't specify a different personalization on the back, the system will use the name on your
My Disney Experience account. I like to print my initials and the date on the back of my bands so I'll remember when I bought them.
Each MagicBand+ comes with its own charging cable, and those were shipped in the same box underneath the bands. So don't toss them out!
Although most Disney Resort Hotel rooms have USB outlets, my tip is to bring a couple of extra USB blocks because my group had phones, watches, and more to charge each evening.
My panelist pal Nimmy recently answered a question with details on how far in advance you'll need to order your bands to have them shipped, so
check out her answer for details.
I don't want to spoil any surprises, but your MagicBand+ might offer some fun buzzes and lights during your visit. We watched the
Happily Ever After fireworks extravaganza at
Magic Kingdom Park, and our bands played a happy role during the show.
Ronald, I hope your visit is as magical as your bands! Please come back to
planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
