Ahoy there, Robin!
Welcome aboard planDisney! I’m thrilled you asked this question—my family loves using our DisneyBand+ devices when we sail. They make life onboard so easy, it almost feels like having a sprinkle of Tinker Bell’s pixie dust right on your wrist!
While the traditional Key to the World card is currently still available on every sailing, the
DisneyBand+ takes convenience to the next level. From unlocking your stateroom door to charging onboard purchases and even checking in at the gangway, it’s like having your own personal magic wand—except waterproof!
To order your DisneyBand+, log into the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, select your reservation, and scroll to the “More Magic” section. You should see a link to purchase. Since your cruise is fast approaching, don’t wait too long—
pre-orders usually close about 10 days before your sail date.
If your window closes before you’re able to order, don’t worry—there are still ways to add some wearable magic! You can purchase one once
onboard at Mickey’s Mainsail (or a similar shop depending on your ship). While the selection is a bit smaller—usually three or four styles—they still look great and will function the same way.
Here’s a little insider tip: if you want the biggest variety of designs, you can
shop online at the Disney Store for a MagicBand+. The MagicBand+ and DisneyBand+ work interchangeably on Disney Cruise Line sailings, so long as it’s the “+” version. The main difference I’ve noticed is that DisneyBand+ designs are exclusive to the fleet and sometimes feature a few extra light-up effects inspired by the sea! My son’s DisneyBand+ even glows in colors that remind us of the ocean at sunset—something Ariel herself would approve of.
I hope this helps you find the perfect DisneyBand+ for your upcoming voyage. Before long, you’ll be waving your wrist like Genie saying, “Your wish is my command,” as your adventures unfold across the open seas.
Sea ya real soon with boo-tiful nights and frightfully fun days,
Dustin
