    When can I purchase magicband + for a cruise. Has been paid in full!

    Ahoy, Teresa! Welcome aboard planDisney! Let's chart a course for fun!  

    I love the DisneyBand+ (the MagicBand+ of the sea!). From opening your stateroom door and making must-have souvenir purchases onboard to hopping on and off the ship in port, it's one of the easiest ways to navigate your Disney Cruise Line adventure. While I have a soft spot for the traditional Key to the World card, I love the convenience of wearing my DisneyBand+ and not having to wonder where I tucked my card away during a day ashore. One quick port-day tip: Be sure to bring your ID when you disembark, as you'll need it to sail smoothly back onto the ship!

    Ordering your DisneyBand+ is simple! Open the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and scroll down to the "More Magic" section. There, you should see a link labeled "Purchase." Once you're redirected to the DisneyBand+ website, your reservation and stateroom number should appear automatically. Scroll past the names of your travel party and look for the "Get Started" button. After selecting the guest you're purchasing for, you'll be able to browse the available designs, pick your favorite, and complete your order. Before you know it, you'll be ready to set sail in style!

    Teresa, you are in for an ocean of fun on your cruise! Be sure to keep an eye on the Navigator app each day so you don't miss any of the magic. It's your treasure map to onboard activities, entertainment, character appearances, and so much more!

    One of my favorite Disney Cruise Line traditions is rotational dining. Each evening, you'll sail off to one of three differently themed restaurants, while your amazing serving team follows along with you throughout the voyage. It's the best of both worlds! My husband and I love coordinating our outfits with each dining experience. On our last cruise aboard the Disney Wish, I wore a red dress paired with an Avengers logo pin for our Worlds of Marvel night. It was a fun way to get into the spirit of the evening!

    I hope this helps you navigate the seas and get your DisneyBand+ purchased and linked for your upcoming sailing! As you count down the days until embarkation, please feel free to drop anchor here anytime with more questions. We're happy to help keep your vacation shipshape!

    Wishing you smooth seas, magical memories, and the perfect ocean breeze!

    Your first mate,
    Kimberly
