Hi JoAnn!
Thanks for your question. I love the convenience and "cool factor" of
Disney's MagicBands. It is a one-stop shop for all your needs, conveniently sitting right there on your wrists. From resort hotel access, to theme park entrance, to dining, merchandising, charging, etc., it's everything a growing boy (or girl) needs to make their Disney experience exceptionally magical! :-)
So the complimentary
MagicBands (the ones at no cost) are only available when you select them through
My Disney Experience at
DisneyWorld.com or through the
My Disney Experience mobile app. If you go to
shopDisney.com to purchase those same solid colored MagicBands, they will come at a cost, so my recommendation is to make your selections via
My Disney Experience to get the complimentary bands and save some money! :-) Now if there are certain custom MagicBands you're interested in, you can get selected ones through My Disney Experience for a slight discount than choosing the same MagicBands at
shopDisney.com, so something to just bear in mind.
May all your wishes come true when you are at
Disney World!
Terry
