Hello and welcome to planDisney, Peter!
Thank you for stopping by today with your very first question! It is a pleasure to assist you as you plan a magical Walt Disney World Resort getaway!
Guests who are not staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel are also welcome to purchase
MagicBands. They can be used to enter the theme parks and the water parks with valid admission linked to your Disney account and link Disney PhotoPass digital content to
My Disney Experience. Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can unlock extra magic, like using their MagicBands to charge food and merchandise purchases to their room during their stay.
I cannot wait to get the
all-new MagicBand+ announced as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Walt Disney World Resort! It will be available for purchase beginning next year, so keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for news and updates! Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel will be able to purchase a MagicBand+ at special pre-arrival prices, just as Annual Passholders. Since you are staying at Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, you will probably be able to buy your new MagicBand+ upon arrival at the Walt Disney World Resort. I also recommend checking
shopDisney.com once they become available to confirm if they will also be sold online.
I hope this helps you while planning, Peter! Come back to visit us if you have additional questions and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
