Hi Zachary,
Welcome to planDisney!
Your Disney sleuthing skills are top notch. At this time, prior MagicBand options are only available in limited quantities. Options listed through the Disney Store were currently sold out when I checked. The cast member I spoke with also said there could be an option available in person. I did see some on another website for sale but I do suggest to be careful if ordering from another website because they may have been
linked to someone already. I suggest that you move forward with MagicBand+ or, use
other options for park and resort hotel room entry -
Disney MagicMobile Service is accessible through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App and guests can request a Key to the World Card upon arrival.
I will say that although my family is always on a budget, we have ordered MagicBand+ for two prior visits. Given the cost, we are using those same MagicBand+ selections for as long as possible! I will say that we do love them, especially the interactivity during the fireworks shows. As much as I value Disney MagicMobile Service, I also do not want to spend our entire vacation on my mobile phone, so I will always have a MagicBand version when we visit as long as they are an option!
As you continue to plan, I do hope you have made note of your
booking window timeframe for
Enchanting Extras Collection experiences and
advanced dining reservations. Mark this date on your calendar if you have not already done so and take some time deciding which additional experiences you would like to reserve.
Zachary, I hope you have booked a vacation package. Remember to also consider a Disney Dining Plan if you have not yet booked. I actually have appreciated having the
Disney Dining Plan on prior visits because, aside from the flexibility of the plan, it helped us have a solid estimate of our trip costs prior to arrival. I hope this helps. Continue the
practically perfect planning!
Take care,
Donyell
