Hi, Susan! Thanks for stopping by with your question.
What did we ever do without
MagicBands? Wearing your MagicBand allows you to unlock your
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room, enter the
theme parks (with valid admission), use your
FastPass+ selections, and connect your
Disney PhotoPass pictures to your
My Disney Experience account. During your resort hotel stay, you can even use your MagicBand to charge purchases to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room. I love that you can do all of this without ever having to fumble through your bag or wallet. It's all right there on your wrist!
I was so excited when it was recently announced that guests would have the option to
upgrade their MagicBands. As much as I love the brightly colored MagicBands that are complimentary with your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel stay, all of the adorable character designs that will now be offered at a significant discount off of the retail price will be hard to resist. Apparently, many guests feel the same way I do, because the upgraded MagicBand options quickly sold out.
Susan, I'm not sure how soon your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is, but I would recommend you continue checking your My Disney Experience account often. I would imagine they will restock all of the MagicBand designs just as quickly as possible. Hopefully, the option to upgrade your MagicBands will pop up in your My Disney Experience account again while you are still within the time frame in which you need to customize your MagicBands.
See ya real soon!
Samantha
