Welcome to planDisney, Martin!
You have chosen a great time of year to holiday in the States, particularly the
Walt Disney World Resort. The weather is fantastic, and the crowds are typically low, the perfect combination for an unforgettable Disney experience.
Unfortunately, Guests visiting from the UK cannot order
Disney Bands/MagicBand+ for pre-arrival, so you will have to wait until you are on-site. Hakuna Matata, though, I am happy to point you in the right direction regarding where to find the perfect MagicBant+ upgrade. On my most recent trip, I found
Pin Traders – Camera Center in EPCOT to have one of the best selections. A close second was the
Pin Traders location at Disney Springs. And no vacation is complete without a visit to the world’s most extensive collection of Disney merchandise,
World of Disney, also at Disney Springs. Between these three stops or any other merchandise location found throughout the parks and Disney Resorts Collection hotels, I am confident you will find the perfect band (or two) for your visit.
Once you have found the perfect one,
be sure to set it up through the My Disney Experience app. You will power on the band by pressing the button on the back, open your app, and follow the instructions to link the new MagicBand+ to you or a Guest on your Family & Friend list, and just like magic, you will be paired and ready to go!
If you run into any issues with set-up or linking, a friendly Cast Member at your resort or one of the
Guest Relations locations found at the entry to all of the theme parks will be more than happy to walk you through the process.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday, Martin!
Cheers,
Brent
