Welcome back, Susan! I'm so glad that my last answer was helpful, and that I now get a chance to help some more!
Unlike Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, the
Disneyland Resort Hotels do not offer a discount on the prepurchase of MagicBand+. I'm sorry if this is disappointing news. However, you might get a discount on your purchase if you use a Chase Disney Visa card for select purchases on
DisneyStore.com or at the
Disneyland Resort. If you do not have a Chase Visa, I've also had good luck finding occasional sales on DisneyStore.com at the end of the holiday season.
Susan, if you've used a MagicBand at Walt Disney World, you are likely used to the impressive integration the bands have when experiencing the theme parks. While MagicBand+ was introduced at
Disneyland Resort a couple of years ago, its uses aren't quite as extensive. Rest assured that
MagicBand+ is completely optional, and I find that my phone with the
Disneyland Mobile App downloaded can be just as useful as a MagicBand+ when scanning into the theme parks, using Lighting Lane entrances, and taking
Disney PhotoPass pictures. However, if you decide to buy new MagicBands+, I want you to know that you can use them at Walt Disney World and on Disney Cruise Line - so it's a very magical investment!
I hope this information helps, Susan. Please feel free to visit again, if
I can answer any more planning questions.
See ya real soon,
Melissa
