Hello Myra,
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for bringing me such an interesting question. As an avid lover of
MagicBands myself, I can completely relate to your enquiry and will try and do my very best to assist you today.
On your behalf Myra, I've undertaken a little online research concerning the exclusive pre-order Cinderella Birthday MagicBand which you carefully selected for a previous holiday to Walt Disney World Resort. My findings showed that to the very best of my current knowledge, the pre-order MagicBand offerings are exclusive, and therefore aren't usually seen for sale within the
merchandise Stores that stock MagicBands at Walt Disney World Resort.
Additionally, as I'm sure you'll already be aware, from January 1st, 2021, MagicBands ceased to be provided as complimentary items upon check-in to a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. However, I must tell you that I'm looking forward to trying out the new Disney MagicMobile Service when I next visit the most magical place on earth!
Disney MagicMobile Service works when Guests create a digital pass on their eligible smart devices which then seamlessly connects to the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to gain access to all your linked Disney vacation entitlements. Most features on the Disney MagicMobile Service are available by simply holding your eligible smart device near to an access point, just as you would do with a MagicBand...
And, then "tah-da!" it works, just like magic!Plus, if your Apple device is set in
Express Mode, you won’t even need to unlock it in order to use the Disney MagicMobile Service!
I understand that this may not be the news about your MagicBand that you were hoping to hear Myra, but I do have a couple of alternative suggestions for you to try -
- During your May 2022 jolly holiday to Walt Disney World Resort, it would never hurt to stop by any
Guest Relations location to make some general enquires with Cast Members about perhaps sourcing a bibbidi bobbidi boo alternative to the original Cinderella Birthday MagicBand from your previous Disney trip. After all, new and super cute designs are being added to the MagicBand collections all the time.

If you should have any further questions for me about planning towards what's sure to be a practically perfect in every way holiday to Walt Disney World Resort in 2022. Then please do pop back to
