Hi Judy! Welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by with your question! Here at planDisney, we are thrilled to help make your vacation as magical as possible!
MagicBands are an essential item for every Walt Disney World trip that I take. With so many functions that they can be used for, it helps eliminate everyday items that you would normally need to bring with you. My favorite feature is that you can use it to enter your Disney Resorts Hotel room door. There is no need to carry around a room key and potentially misplace it. You also can use it for purchases at many dining and retail locations, so no need to carry around a bulky wallet or purse! Since your MagicBand is linked to your
My Disney Experience account, you can use it for entry into the parks and entry for any Lightning Lane attraction you have reservations for. Using MagicBands has eliminated carrying my wallet, room key, and park tickets with me to the parks.
Since you are staying at a Disney Resorts Hotel, you have the option to order MagicBands before you arrive at a discounted rate. You can do so by signing on to your
My Disney Experience account and selecting "MagicBands and Cards". Once you select the MagicBands that you want for each Guest in your party, it will prompt you to the final screen for payment and shipping.
Judy, if you complete this purchase more than 10 days before your arrival date, your only option will be to have them sent to your home address. If you want them shipped to your Disney Resorts Hotel, you need to order in the 6-10 day window before you are set to arrive. When you go to check out from your purchase during this timeframe, the only option will be to choose your resort hotel.
If you plan to visit in the next couple of weeks, the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is now underway and is waiting on you to try some of the delicious options available. With over 25 Global Marketplace Food Booths throughout the park, you are bound to find plenty of amazing creations!
Judy, have a magical time during your upcoming visit!
See ya real soon!
