Hi there, Carianne!
Thanks for stopping by with your question about your upcoming
Walt Disney World vacation. I'm always happy to chat with fellow Canadians!
Disney bands (known as MagicBands in the U.S.A.) make everything so easy during a trip to Walt Disney World. With a quick tap, you can enter the parks, unlock your Disney Resort hotel room, make purchases, and link your Disney PhotoPass memories. They come in so many fun designs, and my family loved choosing bands that matched each of our personalities!
In the past, international Guests could pre-order MagicBands through their myDisney account and have them waiting at the Front Desk, but unfortunately, that option is no longer offered. If you'd still like to have bands ready before you arrive, you can place an order through the
Disney Store and ship them to your resort. Right now, there's a $6 handling fee per package that will be added to your room folio. I did this earlier this year - there was a great sale, I shipped the box to our resort, and when we checked in, a Cast Member had it waiting for me!
I hope this helps clear things up, Carianne. Enjoy the planning - it’s all part of the fun! If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to
reach out.
Adventure is out there,
Candace
