Hello there, Melissa, and welcome to planDisney! First, I'd like to just note that you are completing an item from my bucket list here - one mega trip that starts at the Disneyland Resort followed directly by a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. How fun!
I'm so glad you're taking advantage of the special pre-arrival price on your MagicBand+ since you'll be staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel. According to the details of this special offer from the
MagicBand+ page, it says Resort Guests qualify for the discount six or more days prior to their Resort hotel reservation. I spoke with a Cast Member about shipping details, and she confirmed that your MagicBands can either be shipped to a Walt Disney World Resort hotel or your home, but shipping them to the Disneyland Resort is not an option at this time.
Since your
MagicBand+ is also usable at the Disneyland Resort, my recommendation would be to have them shipped to your home before your trip! That way, you can use them for the entirety of your trip.
I'm not sure when you're planning your trip, but if it's this year, then you're in for a real treat as you'll be visiting in the midst of the Disney100 celebration! At the
Disneyland Resort in particular, there are all kinds of fun things to do, see, and eat. I would also keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the most updated information on what is happening at both locations. You can also select from the "Destinations" drop-down menu in the top navigation menu to filter it to specifically show you news for the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts.
Thank you again for your question, Melissa! This trip is going to be so much fun and filled with so many magical memories. As you continue to plan details for each resort, make sure to come back and see us here at planDisney! We have experts in both resorts, and we would all be happy to help you plan your best trip ever.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
