It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Megan!
With your trip coming up in just a few months, it's a great time to start thinking about what kind of
MagicBands you want to personalize for you and your family. With the recent news that
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel guests can now
upgrade, at a discounted price, their complimentary solid-colored MagicBands to one from a selection of designs featuring Disney Characters and Theme Park motifs. These new upgraded designs have been extremely popular and have sold out a few times, so let's chat about what you can do if you're finding it tricky to make your selections at the moment.
I also have a few trips to Walt Disney World Resort coming up this year so I've been experimenting with the new process for ordering MagicBands too, and I've learned a few things through trial and error. I've also come upon the "access unavailable" page with that lovely picture of Donald Duck, but I've found that it doesn't happen every time I try, so some persistence over the next few weeks might do the trick. If you keep receiving the same result when you try to personalize your MagicBands, I have had some luck when I clear my web browser's data and try again. That quick refresh has given me access to the Build-a-Band page and allowed me to complete the order for upgraded MagicBands. Make sure that you're ready to make selections for everyone in your party at the same time, because once you've ordered and checked out, you cannot go back to choose more. Remember that you can personalize your MagicBands all the way up to 11 days before your arrival to have them shipped straight to your door.
Have a magical day, Megan!
