Hi Priscilla! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I'm excited to hEAR you'll be visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort in January! I can't think of a better way to start the new year than walking down Main Street, U.S.A. or exploring the countries in the World Showcase! Bringing a MagicBand with you on your stay will help limit the number of necessities you'll need to bring to the parks and simplify your entire stay! I never leave home without one when vacationing at Walt Disney World!
If you are staying at a Disney Resorts Hotel during your trip, you can preorder
MagicBands for a special pre-arrival price. The easiest way to do so is to log on to your
My Disney Experience account using your computer and select "MagicBands and Cards". Scroll down to "Your MagicBand Order" and select "Get Started". You'll see each Guest that is listed on your resort reservation and you'll need to click on each one to select the MagicBand you want. Once you hover over a MagicBand, the pre-arrival price will appear. Once you have selected a MagicBand for each Guest, continue to follow the prompts to complete your purchase. You can select to decline a MagicBand for any Guest that does not want one.
There is a limited selection of MagicBands available for special pricing. If you do not see one that you like, you can always head to
shopDisney for a wider selection. These will be priced accordingly and not discounted for pre-arrival.
During your stay, you'll be able to use your MagicBand for a variety of reasons. You'll be able to open your Disney Resorts Hotel room, purchase food and merchandise, and use it as your park ticket for entry into the theme parks. I love having it with me since it allows me not to carry a room key, wallet, or park tickets.
Priscilla, I hope you have a magical time during your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
