Hi Cindy! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
Unfortunately, the option to pre-order
MagicBand+ with your name on the back is only available for Walt Disney World Resort hotel stays. Disneyland Resort doesn't use the My Disney Experience mobile app; it uses the
Disneyland mobile app, and you won't find the option to select a MagicBand+ for purchase on that app since Disneyland Resort Hotels don't feature the pre-order option. I'm sorry if that's disappointing!
That doesn't mean you can't find the perfect band tailored to your favorite Disney films and Characters. You'll still find lots of fun options at the
Disneyland Resort Hotels in the shops, as well as in select stores in the parks and the Downtown Disney District. You can probably find a style perfect for every member of the family, so you can rock your unique self during your visit. If you like, you can wait until you arrive to purchase your bands, but another potential option is to order through shopDisney, which
ships most items ordered through standard delivery to Canada since your visit is still a couple of months away. Just be sure to select MagicBand+. Other bands don't work at Disneyland Resort.
The bands offer hands-free scanning into the parks and at Lightning Lane Entrances with Disney's Genie+ Service. This is really convenient when you don't want to be juggling your mobile device. You'll also be immersed more fully into select Entertainment and Attractions, as your band lights up and buzzes. You won't be able to unlock your hotel door at Disneyland Hotel, however, or pay for your purchases. Functionality is a little different between Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
Disneyland Hotel is my favorite Disneyland Resort Hotel, so I know you're going to have the most magical trip. Check out the headboard, grab yourself a DOLE Whip from Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill overlooking the pool, and enjoy riding into the heart of Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park on the conveniently located Disneyland Monorail when you're ready to start your park day.
Have a magical day.
Elizabeth
