Hi there, Shannon! Welcome to planDisney!
Congratulations on booking a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Securing your park tickets and Disney Resort Hotel reservation is the biggest chunk of the planning process, so you are ahead of the game!
As Ariel would say, "we've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty" at Walt Disney World.. and
MagicBands are my favorite of all! With this handy Mouseketool, you're able to scan into parks and rides, unlock your
Disney Resort Hotel room door, make payments at dining and merchandise locations and more. And as you said, they are just cool! I love grabbing a MagicBand based on my mood, favorite character or time of the year. You can do the same for your stay!
In order to order MagicBands through your Disney Resort Hotel reservations, you'll follow a few easy steps.
- Open your My Disney Experience Mobile App and click the menu button in the bottom right corner.
- Click the box for "Resort Hotel," where you should see the details of your room reservation.
- Scroll down and select "Choose MagicBands."
- Select a Guest and scroll through options to find the perfect MagicBand. You can choose to filter the options by theme or color at the top.
- Once selected, you'll be given the option to personalize the inside of the MagicBand with the Guests' name. It can be helpful to do this for future trips, so you remember which band belongs to each of you.
- Click "Complete" and you'll be taken back to the page to choose another Guest. Repeat the above steps for all Guests who wish to choose MagicBands for your stay.
- Click "Proceed to Checkout" and input your payment and shipping information to complete your purchase.
If your Disney Resort Hotel does not show up when you begin this process, you'll need to
link the reservation and try again.
I find that one MagicBand per person is enough for each stay, but if for any reason you wanted to purchase additional MagicBands for your collection, you can check out the
selection at shopDisney. I, personally, have more MagicBands than I'd like to admit, but hey.. once a collector, always a collector, right?
Shannon, I hope this helps you get your hands on a MagicBand that is just right for you! Have a magical vacation!
