Salut Nancy!
Welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! As a fellow Québécoise, I was so excited when I saw your question in our queue, and I am thrilled to be a part of your planning process. You have also picked such a magical time to come and visit with the World's Most Magical Celebration in full swing. There are so many new things for you to discover, and I cannot wait for you to experience the Disney magic real soon, neighbour!
Now, let's talk about
MagicBands! Nancy, as a returning Guest, I cannot agree with you more that MagicBands are such a useful tool on Disney vacations. Not having to reach in your bag for your theme park ticket, credit card, or Resort hotel room key is beyond convenient, especially for somebody like me who always forgets my cards in the room! Unfortunately, you are right that we cannot pre-order MagicBands before our Resort hotel stay in Canada, as shipping is not available outside of the U.S. However, this does not mean that you won't be able to enjoy all that MagicBands have to offer! In fact, you can make picking your MagicBand a special activity and a souvenir that will always remind you of that specific visit. You can find MagicBands at
many merchandise locations across Disney property. Still, I find that
Disney's Pin Traders at Disney Springs and the
Camera Center at EPCOT have some of the widest selections.
Once you have picked out your favourite MagicBand, I recommend testing it out by stopping by
EPCOT's International Food and Wine Festival. Indeed, Disney recently announced that the famous Food and Wine Festival will be returning to EPCOT, this time for an extended season! Starting on July 14th, 2022, you will be able to stop by all the booths and try unique food options. Although the menus have not yet been announced, I would highly recommend stopping by the Mac & Eats booth, as their Truffle Mac and Cheese might just be the best mac and cheese I have ever had. However, if you would like a bit of spice, stop by Earth Eats and get the Impossible Burger Slider. With all these delicious offerings, you are sure to make Remy proud!
I hope this was helpful, Nancy, and that you and your loved ones will have the best day ever on your upcoming Disney trip! If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your visit, please don't hesitate to reach out. Il me fera toujours plaisir de vous aider!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
