Hi Kim! Welcome back to planDisney! We’re always happy to help you prepare for the most magical visit to the
Disneyland Resort.
Shipping times for MagicBand+ can vary, but typically, they arrive within 10 days. If you’re having yours shipped internationally, I’d recommend allowing a bit of extra time. After all, even Tinker Bell needs a little help delivering pixie-dusted packages across the globe! Ordering your MagicBand+ before your trip is a fantastic way to build anticipation for your upcoming adventures. To purchase one from home, visit the
ShopDisney website, where you’ll find an array of enchanting designs. With so many character themes and colors to choose from, you’re bound to find one that perfectly matches your Disney style.
While MagicBand+ adds an extra touch of fun to your trip, it’s not required for park entry. As long as your ticket is linked to your MyDisney account in the
Disneyland app, you can simply scan it when you’re ready to start your day of magic. If you prefer to wait until you arrive, there are plenty of locations at
Disneyland,
Disney California Adventure,
Downtown Disney, and even the
Disneyland Resort Hotels where you can find MagicBand+ selections. However, one perk of purchasing in advance is the ability to link it to your Disneyland app and park ticket before you even set foot on Main Street. This means you’ll be ready to tap in at the entrance and use your MagicBand+ to access any Lightning Lane reservations with ease.
Beyond convenience, MagicBand+ offers some interactive features that bring an extra sprinkle of Disney magic to your visit. Your band may light up or vibrate in sync with certain nighttime spectaculars, like Fantasmic! Personally, I love how my MagicBand+ glows red as I exit the Haunted Mansion; a ghostly little farewell that always makes me smile.
While not essential, MagicBand+ adds an extra layer of immersive fun to your Disneyland adventure. If you have more questions about using your MagicBand+ or any other planning details, Kim, we’d love to hear from you again at planDisney!
Wishing you an unforgettable trip filled with magic, memories, and maybe even a few hitchhiking ghosts!
