Hi Donna!
MagicBands are a fantastic addition to a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! All Guests visiting the "Most Magical Place on Earth" can use MagicBands to unlock the Disney magic, even those who aren't staying at a Disney Resort hotel. If you'll be a day Guest at Walt Disney World Resort, you'll still be able to use MagicBands to access your
theme park tickets,
Lightning Lane reservations, and
Disney PhotoPass account at touch points throughout the theme park.
You can
purchase your MagicBands online from shopDisney prior to your trip or you can purchase them once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort at the shops throughout the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels, and Disney Springs. Since your vacation is just around the corner, I recommend you either order your MagicBands as soon as possible so they arrive before your trip or that you plan on purchasing them as soon as you arrive.
Donna, you may want to consider selecting MagicBand+ for your visit. These brand-new MagicBands will allow you to interact with the theme parks in entirely new ways as you'll become part of the magic. My family selected our MagicBand+ last night for our upcoming trip and we're so excited to try out this technology. My boys can't wait to become bounty hunters in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge!
Feel free to come back to see us if you have additional questions. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
