    The selection of pre-arrival magic bands isn't very princess friendly (we're not star wars people). Do we have to order from the pre-arrival list, or can we order from the disney store?

    Royal Greetings, Laurie!

    We are so pleased to welcome you to planDisney. Thanks for stopping by. I’m Shantel, and I will be more than happy to help you gear up for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation

    The perfect accessory to add to any visit is a MagicBand+. One of those and a cute pair of Mickey ears, of course. Since a MagicBand+ is a fun accessory, I completely understand the need to follow your heart and purchase a Disney Princess-themed one. The good news is, you can find additional styles on the Disney Store website. These will be able to be paired and linked to your account in a few easy steps. The only difference is, the ones purchased from the Disney Store will not be included in your discounted resort benefit.

    You can also wait and purchase your MagicBand+ from the many stores at  Walt Disney World Resort as well. My daughter likes to wait and see her options once we arrive. I’ll be honest, though, we usually just pick one off our resort offer because she can spend hours shopping in the parks. Which I am good with, my adventure-seeking son would much rather be exploring the theme parks. So buying online saves time, for us at least.

    Laurie, I hope this helps answer your question so that you can gear up for this trip. If there’s anything else we can help with, don’t hesitate to ask! 

    Dream Big, Princess!

Hi ya Pals! I'm Shantel, an Army wife and mom of two. I grew up going to the parks, and now we're sharing that tradition with our kids. When I am not visiting the Walt Disney World Resort, I'm at home researching and planning for our next trip. One of my favorite things to do is search for new snacks to try, especially if they are Mickey shaped. I'm definitely living the dream my heart wished for! I cannot wait to answer your questions and help make your vacation even more magical!
