Hey Russell,
Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World visit; we’re glad you’re here. MagicBand+ is an amazing accessory that you can purchase to enhance your Disney World vacation. Once
linked to your
My Disney Experience account,
MagicBand+ allows guests to enter their
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room, enter all 4 Disney theme parks, access your purchased
Lightning Lane Passes and purchase food and merchandise across the resort all with a simple tap. My family and I love using MagicBand+ for everything on our Disney World vacations. You can even experience cool in-park features like haptic vibrations and lights on your band when you pass certain statues and areas within the parks. My kids love this part!
There are two ways to purchase your MagicBand+. You can purchase them online before your vacation on the
Disney Store’s website. The selection available there is subject to change, but right now there’s a very healthy selection of over 50 different bands! Use the product filter to narrow down your view so that you can just see the bands. Disney’s Lady and the Tramp is one of my granddad’s all-time favorite Disney movies (and one of mine), so I feel strongly that
this one may be in my cart soon. Be sure to order early enough to allow for shipping time. Your other option to purchase would be to wait until you arrive at your Disney resort hotel or the parks (or even Disney Springs) and purchase bands there. They’ll have a wide variety available across the different locations. Your resort hotel may even have a resort-specific band available.
If you’re planning a Hollywood Studios day, don’t forget that your MagicBand+ plays a critical role in your hunt for bounty in a galaxy far, far away. Use your MagicBand+ and the Play Disney Parks app to play
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters in
Galaxy’s Edge as vibrations and lights help guide you down the right path along your quest.
I hope this information is helpful, Russell. I know you’ll find MagicBand+ wristbands that you and your family will love. If you have any additional questions about your upcoming Disney World visit, please be sure to come see us here at planDisney again real soon. Until then, TTFN… ta-ta for now!
