Welcome to planDisney, Loretta!
Thanks for stopping by with a question about your upcoming trip. I'm always happy to assist a fellow Canuck. You've chosen a fantastic time to visit
Disney World - I love seeing the parks decorated for Christmas, it puts me in the Christmas spirit! I'm so glad you were able to book a Disney World package. Let's look at how to get things sorted.
Once you have your Disney confirmation number (it’s often found on your Costco travel documents or itinerary), open the
My Disney Experience app or log in to the Disney website. From there, go to “My Plans” and choose “Link a Reservation.” Enter your confirmation number and the last name on the reservation, and your package should appear in your account. You can also link your reservation on the My Disney Experience mobile app.
Next, let's chat
Disney bands! Disney bands (called MagicBands in the U.S.A.) are a handy all-in-one accessory that makes your visit extra smooth. With just a tap of your wrist, you can unlock your Disney Resort hotel room, enter the theme parks, add
Disney PhotoPass pictures to your account, and even pay for meals and souvenirs. It’s a fun way to keep everything connected during your stay!
Canadian and other international Guests aren’t able to order MagicBands before their vacation, so you can do some shopping upon arrival. You’ll usually find a few options at your Disney Resort hotel’s gift shop, but if you’re hoping to browse a bigger selection, there are some great spots to check out:
• World of Disney – Disney Springs
• Disney’s Pin Traders – Disney Springs
• Creations Shop – EPCOT
• The Emporium – Magic Kingdom Park
• Celebrity 5 & 10 – Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• Island Mercantile – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Once you’ve picked out your band, linking it in the My Disney Experience app just takes a minute. If you’re choosing one of the newer Disney band+ styles, remember that they do need to be charged occasionally. I like to toss a portable charger in my day bag, just to be prepared!
I hope this information is helpful to you, Loretta, as you prepare for your rapidly approaching trip. Wishing you a fantastic stay at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Adventure is out there,
Candace
