"Welcome home," Linda! I'm so glad you dropped by planDisney with your question!
Linda, I'm thrilled to hEAR that you're taking your granddaughter for her first Disney trip! When we took my oldest son for the first time, my mother and grandmother both accompanied us and those memories are some of my most cherished. Commemorating her trip with a specialized
MagicBand is a great idea! I did a quick search and I found that "Mickey's First Visit MagicBand" is currently available for pre-order. To do this, you'll want to log in to your
My Disney Experience account. From there, hover over the bold My Disney Experience until you see the tab: "My MagicBands and Cards". After you click on that, you'll see a screen that shows your upcoming reservation. You should see your granddaughter's profile listed if she is connected to your reservation. From there you can click on the blue "get started" button. Once you select her profile, you'll be able to pick from a large array of MagicBands. Here is where you will see "Mickey's First Visit MagicBand" available for purchase. This yellow MagicBand featuring the main Mouse himself is so adorable and perfect for Mouseketeers of all ages.
Linda, I recommend (
since you know you want a very specific MagicBand for your granddaughter) that you go ahead and order as soon as possible. In my experience, the MagicBand inventory changes frequently so when I find the one I'm looking for, I will purchase right away.
Linda, I hope this helps as you're planning ahead for your May vacation.
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge is my family's "home" resort and truly one of my favorite places to be. With its warm wood lobby and great dining options, this property has perfected the cozy vibe and I hope your granddaughter's first trip at this
Disney Vacation Club Resort is Magical in every way. If you're looking for a convenient spot to grab dinner with your whole family, check out
Whispering Canyon Cafe where the portion sizes are (almost) as big as the trees!
Best wishes, Linda, for a trip you'll be talking about for years to come. Please swing on back to planDisney if you have any further questions.
