Hey Justin,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by before your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World!
I checked
DisneyStore.com and wasn’t able to find any MagicBands to purchase at this time. If you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can purchase a MagicBand before your arrival, but as of the time I am writing this answer, there are no MagicBand options, only MagicBand+.
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort and would like to purchase a MagicBand+, you can receive a special pre-arrival price on your MagicBand+. You can order by logging in to your My Disney account on a web browser and visiting “My MagicBands and Cards.” MagicBand+ orders placed 11 or more days before your arrival will be shipped to your home. Orders placed 10-6 days before your visit will be shipped to the Disney Resort front desk for pick up. MagicBand+ selection is not available 5 days or less before your trip.
My fellow panelist
JoAnna is currently visiting Disney World and has not found any MagicBands in the shops. There are a few D Tech on Demand locations where you could customize a MagicBand, but those were also closed at this time. If you’d like to check during your visit,
Tomorrowland Launch Depot in Magic Kingdom and
Marketplace Co-Op in Disney Springs have D-Tech on Demand stations.
If you’d prefer to go without a MagicBand+, you could set up
Disney MagicMobile Service on your smartphone which means you could use your phone or Apple Watch to enter the theme parks, redeem
Lightning Lane Passes, and collect PhotoPass photos. You could also stop at a ticket window and get a physical ticket to use throughout the day.
I hope you find an option that works for you, Justin. Enjoy your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World! If you have any more questions, please come back to see us at
