    How do you purchase a Magic Band in advance coming from Canada? We are staying at Sarasto Springs

    Hello Susan!

    Your magical adventure is coming up very soon! Your crew must be getting so excited!

    MagicBands, sometimes called Disney Bands, are an excellent way to add convenience and magic to your Walt Disney World visit. These versatile gadgets act as your hotel room key, park admission, and even let you make purchases effortlessly throughout the parks and resorts.

    It looks like you will be visiting from Canada, so here’s what you need to know. Although purchasing MagicBands ahead of time internationally is no longer an option, there’s a bright side. Once you’re on-site, you’ll find an even bigger variety to choose from than was previously available for presale. You can shop for them at any of the four theme parks or in resort gift shops

    Before you pick out your ideal MagicBand, you can rely on Disney MagicMobile through your smartphone to access many of the same features. This way, you’ll be all set to embrace the magic as soon as you arrive.

    Fun Fact: MagicBands were inspired by airport security systems! Disney’s Imagineers wanted to create a seamless way for guests to access parks, make purchases, and unlock hotel rooms without fumbling for tickets or cards. They studied how RFID technology was used for quick and efficient airport check-ins and transformed that idea into the colorful, convenient MagicBands we know today.

    See ya real soon!
