Salutations, Stephen.
Welcome to planDisney! I see you are planning a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth during the most magical time of year. The
holiday season at Walt Disney World Resort has so much to offer from festive decorations around every corner to the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. You’re in for a real treat!
Stephen, it sounds like you likely declined MagicBands for you and your wife when you ordered your son’s pre-arrival
MagicBand. Unfortunately, once you have declined pre-arrival MagicBands for anyone in your party, you will not be able to order them at a later date. I believe this is why you no longer see the option to purchase them online. Hakuna matata! Once you arrive on property, you can simply purchase MagicBands from a merchandise location that sells them and
link them to your My Disney Experience account. I’ve had the most luck finding MagicBands for sale in the
Emporium in Magic Kingdom Park,
Celebrity 5 & 10 in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and
Pin Traders - Camera Center in EPCOT. You might also check the gift shop in your Disney Resorts Collection hotel or
order one from shopDisney ahead of your trip.
Have you considered purchasing tickets for
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? This holly jolly event features a special holiday parade, fireworks show, stage show, complimentary cookies, and “snow” much more! I highly recommend attending it if there’s room in your budget.
Stephen, I’m sorry I didn’t have better news to share, but I hope you are able to find a MagicBand. If you have any other questions pop up before your trip, please stop back by. Have a magical day!
Happy planning,
Alyssa
