Hi there, Thomas!
Welcome to planDisney. We're delighted you've come to us with your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! It looks like you're planning a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth for this fall. How exciting - the countdown is on! Thomas, I'm sorry to hear you've had some MagicBand-related confusion. I'm here to help you in any way that I can!
Guests with
Disney Resort hotel reservations may pre-order personalized MagicBands or
MagicBand+ on the Walt Disney World Resort website at special pre-arrival prices. It sounds like you may have placed a MagicBand order aligned with your Resort hotel reservation for other members of your family. Thomas, while Guests are only allowed to place one pre-arrival order per Resort hotel reservation, you're still welcome to purchase MagicBands or MagicBand+ via
shopDisney or once you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort! You'll want to make sure, however, that everyone has their own MagicBand linked to their personal accounts in
My Disney Experience. These bands can only be linked to an individual's account one time and cannot be reassigned or transferred to different Guests.
Thomas, once you secure your MagicBand or MagicBand+, be sure to link it to your account in My Disney Experience. For MagicBand+, I like to complete this task using the
My Disney Experience mobile app following the
linking instructions listed on the Walt Disney World Resort website! Be sure to install any outstanding updates to your MagicBand+ and fully charge it overnight before using it in the theme parks to maximize the magic.
Thomas, don't forget that Guests are able to make
dining reservations and book
Enchanted Extras Collection offerings beginning 60 days before their scheduled arrival. I like to mark my calendar ahead of every Walt Disney World Resort vacation so I don't miss that magical milestone! As that reservation window approaches, now is a great time to consider what experiences you want to enjoy during your vacation. Thomas, I hope you've found this information helpful. I'm wishing you an unforgettable trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any additional planning questions, please revisit us here at
planDisney again anytime. Alternatively, if you have specific follow-up questions, please feel free to
reach out to me directly. I'm all ears!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
