Hi there, Dustyn! Thanks for stopping by to see us with your question. I love to help my fellow Floridians experience the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort!
It sounds like your plans are really coming together. You just need one or two finishing touches to make your Walt Disney World visit practically perfect! So...let’s talk
MagicBands. Guests
staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel have the option to order MagicBands at a discounted rate when making their reservations. Just hop onto your
My Disney Experience account and go to “My Profile,” then “MagicBands and Cards.” That’s where you’ll see any MagicBands available for you to customize and have shipped to you. It takes about 11 days for your bands to arrive, so if your trip is sooner than that, you can elect to pick them up at the front desk of your hotel.
If you’re not staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel this time, you can still
order MagicBands directly from the shopDisney website. You won’t get the discount you would if you were staying onsite, but there are a lot more designs to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that fits your personality! If time is short, you can always pick up a band you love when you’re in the Theme Parks.
Dustyn, while MagicBands put the “fun” in “FUNctional,” they’re also totally optional. Your
Admission Card is all you need to enter the Parks. If you don’t have the cards yet, you can pick them up for free at Guest Services at the entrance to any of the Theme Parks. And don’t forget to download the
My Disney Experience app to check attraction wait times, view your
Disney PhotoPass photos, pick up a meal on-the-go with
Mobile Ordering, and more!
I hope this helps you make the most of your Disney days, Dustyn. Please come see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
