    How can I purchase the wristband passes? What is the cost?

    Hi Jane, Welcome to planDisney! Sounds like you're gearing up for a trip to The Most Magical Place On Earth! MagicBands are one of my favorite accessories while at Disney as it offers such a convenience! They can be used to open your resort room door, PhotoPass and most importantly, enter the parks!

    Disney MagicBands can be purchased in several ways, both before and during your trip. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can purchase MagicBands at a discounted price through your My Disney Experience account. To do this, log in to your account, navigate to "My MagicBands and Cards," and select your MagicBand preferences. You’ll have the option to customize your MagicBand with your name and choose a color or design.

    MagicBands are also available for purchase at Disney retail locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort. You can find them in gift shops at the parks, Disney Springs, and the resort hotels. If you prefer to plan ahead, you can order MagicBands online through the ShopDisney website. This option provides a variety of designs, including limited editions, and they can be shipped directly to your home. Additionally, Disney Springs has several stores, such as World of Disney, offering an extensive selection of MagicBands.

    The cost of MagicBands varies depending on the type and design. The MagicBand+ models, which feature additional interactive elements like lights, vibrations, and interactions with select attractions, currently start at $34.99 depending on the design or character theme. Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels can often purchase MagicBands at a discounted price through My Disney Experience. 

    Jane, I'd like you to know there are other options in addition to the MagicBands. Disney MagicMobile Service is a great alternative. This service is a feature of the My Disney Experience app. This app feature offers quick and easy access to the theme parks and Disney Resort hotel amenities through an eligible iPhone, Apple Watch or Android phone. You will be able to use Disney MagicMobile Service to enter the theme parks (with valid admission), link Disney PhotoPass images to your Disney account, check in at virtual queue and Lightning Lane entrances.

    I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Thank you again for visiting us at planDisney! Have a magical day!
